mysqlparse 0.1.1

A library for parsing SQL statements.

A highly experimental attempt to have a sane parser library to parse MySQL statements.

At the moment - use it at your own risk!

Features

• Inconsistently parses SOME SQL strings.

How can you help?

Read the generic CONTRIBUTORS.rst or here’s a short personal sentiment:

This is being built as a potential support for potential dba tools that we might write at work, so naturally certain things will be implemented sooner. Currently these are few use-cases we’re looking into:

• Be able to provide suggestions to ALTER TABLE statements (e.g.: announce when a statement is potentially not backwards compatible with code)

• Be able to generate commands for online schema change tools.

• Potentially add some validation support, so that an SQL linting tool could be written.

Why?

Out of frustration for lack of a better tool.
