sqlscope 1.0.15

This project extracts catalog and query metadata from a SQL query.

Introduction

This project extracts catalog and query metadata from a SQL query. Each SELECT statement is parsed as a list of tokens as well as an AST. The former works even for incomplete or invalid SQL queries, while the latter requires a valid SQL syntax. Additionally, catalog metadata is extracted from the database schema.

Details

For each SELECT statement, the package extracts:

• the list of SELECT queries (in case of set operations, nested queries, or ctes)
• the main SELECT query
• the list of schemas/tables/columns available in the catalog
• the list of tables referenced in each query
• the resulting table from each query execution, including its columns and their types
• each clause of each query

The catalog extract schema/table/column metadata. For each column, the following information are extracted:

• name
• data type
• nullability
• foreign key

Additionally, for each table, PRIMARY KEY/UNIQUE constraints are extracted. This is also computed for the result of each SELECT query.

Limitations

• Fully identified schema names are not supported when specifying column names (e.g. SELECT schema.table.column [...])
