An SQL Lexer for JavaScript
---------------------------
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/iarna/sql-lexer.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/iarna/sql-lexer)

This is the start of an SQL lexer for JavaScript.  When complete, it should
be able to produce tokens suitable for parsing standard SQL92 and SQL2011. 
Support for intervening versions is dependent on availability of
documentation. 

Lexing is currently available for SQL92, MySQL and SQLite. Postgres is
intended for addition soon.

See the examples directory for syntax highlighters and token dumpers.

This library is intended to be the basis for other tools:

* Script executers that provide better diagnostics then dumping a .sql
  file into the commandline.
* Parsers, which can then SQL level diffs / migration help (ala
  [Modyllic](http://github.com/OnlineBuddies/Modyllic)), schema translation
  (ala [SQL::Translator](https://metacpan.org/pod/SQL::Translator)), and SQL
  quering of non-SQL backends (ala
  [DBD::CSV](https://metacpan.org/pod/DBD::CSV))
