C++ SQL Parser

This is a SQL Parser for C++. It parses the given SQL query into C++ objects. It has been developed for integration in Hyrise, but can be used perfectly well in other environments as well.

In March 2015 we've also written a short paper outlining discussing some development details and the integration into our database Hyrise. You can find the paper here.

Usage

Note: You can also find a detailed usage description here.

To use the SQL parser in your own projects you simply have to follow these few steps.

1. Download the latest release here
2. Compile the library make to create libsqlparser.so
3. (Optional, Recommended) Run make install to copy the library to /usr/local/lib/
4. Run the tests make test to make sure everything worked
5. Include the SQLParser.h from src/ (or from /usr/local/lib/hsql/ if you installed it) and link the library in your project
6. Take a look at the example project here

#include "hsql/SQLParser.h"

/* ... */

{
    // Basic Usage Example

    const std::string query = "...";
    hsql::SQLParserResult result;
    hsql::SQLParser::parse(query, &result);

    if (result.isValid() && result.size() > 0) {
        const hsql::SQLStatement* statement = result.getStatement(0);

        if (statement->isType(hsql::kStmtSelect)) {
            const auto* select = static_cast<const hsql::SelectStatement*>(statement);
            /* ... */
        }
    }
}
