sqlparser

Go package for parsing MySQL SQL queries.

Notice

The backbone of this repo is extracted from vitessio/vitess.

Inside vitessio/vitess there is a very nicely written sql parser. However as it's not a self-contained application, I created this one. It applies the same LICENSE as vitessio/vitess.

Usage

import (
    "github.com/smlxl/sqlparser"
)

Then use:

sql := "SELECT * FROM table WHERE a = 'abc'"
stmt, err := sqlparser.Parse(sql)
if err != nil {
	// Do something with the err
}

// Otherwise do something with stmt
switch stmt := stmt.(type) {
case *sqlparser.Select:
	_ = stmt
case *sqlparser.Insert:
}

Alternative to read many queries from a io.Reader:

r := strings.NewReader("INSERT INTO table1 VALUES (1, 'a'); INSERT INTO table2 VALUES (3, 4);")

tokens := sqlparser.NewTokenizer(r)
for {
	stmt, err := sqlparser.ParseNext(tokens)
	if err == io.EOF {
		break
	}
	// Do something with stmt or err.
}

See parse_test.go for more examples, or read the godoc.

Porting Instructions

You only need the below if you plan to try and keep this library up to date with vitessio/vitess.

Keeping up to date

shopt -s nullglob
VITESS=${GOPATH?}/src/vitess.io/vitess/go/
XWB1989=${GOPATH?}/src/github.com/smlxl/sqlparser/

# Create patches for everything that changed
LASTIMPORT=1b7879cb91f1dfe1a2dfa06fea96e951e3a7aec5
for path in ${VITESS?}/{vt/sqlparser,sqltypes,bytes2,hack}; do
	cd ${path}
	git format-patch ${LASTIMPORT?} .
done;

# Apply patches to the dependencies
cd ${XWB1989?}
git am --directory dependency -p2 ${VITESS?}/{sqltypes,bytes2,hack}/*.patch

# Apply the main patches to the repo
cd ${XWB1989?}
git am -p4 ${VITESS?}/vt/sqlparser/*.patch

# If you encounter diff failures, manually fix them with
patch -p4 < .git/rebase-apply/patch
...
git add name_of_files
git am --continue

# Cleanup
rm ${VITESS?}/{sqltypes,bytes2,hack}/*.patch ${VITESS?}/*.patch

# and Finally update the LASTIMPORT in this README.

Fresh install

TODO: Change these instructions to use git to copy the files, that'll make later patching easier.
