secret project (Score:1)

by Robrt (1414)

For a secret project I worked on (which will eventually may DBD::Something) it was easier to write a new regex based SQL-like parser. SQL::Statement (a few months ago) was too strict, and didn't allow me to bend the rules.

  Has anyone considered a Parse::RecDescent based SQL parser?

    Take a look at SQL::Translator (on CPAN [cpan.org], also at http://sf.net/projects/sqlfairy/ [sf.net]), which is a set of modules designed to translate the CREATE syntax of one DB into another. Many of the parsers we currently have (MySQL, Sybase, Pg, Oracle) are based on Parse::RecDescent.
