Parsing SQL (Score:2)

by djberg96 (2603)

Creating a grammar for ANSI SQL is possible I suppose, but vendor nuances would make it difficult to come up with an all encompassing solution.
I wonder if the major DB vendors have their respective grammars hidden in a vault somewhere, taunting us.

  That's why SQL::Parser allows you to name the SQL dialect you're working with.
  
  As a general purpose solution, though, I've thought it would be nice to use the parser from SQLite. A tempting thought, but my C is probably not up to snuff.

    Is there an Oracle dialect available somewhere for SQL::Parser? I have a little "project" to see which Oracle columns and tables are being used in an internally developed report generator.

      I'm not an expert with SQL::Parser. You'll have to ask jzed, the author. His contact info is in the docs. He's quite helpful.
