The node-sql-parser package is a powerful tool for parsing, formatting, and analyzing SQL queries in Node.js. It supports various SQL dialects and provides a range of functionalities to work with SQL queries programmatically.
What are node-sql-parser's main functionalities?
SQL Parsing
This feature allows you to parse SQL queries into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). The AST can be used for further analysis or transformation of the SQL query.
const { Parser } = require('node-sql-parser');
const parser = new Parser();
const sql = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE age > 30';
const ast = parser.astify(sql);
console.log(JSON.stringify(ast, null, 2));
SQL Formatting
This feature allows you to format SQL queries. You can convert an AST back into a SQL string, which can be useful for standardizing the format of SQL queries.
const { Parser } = require('node-sql-parser');
const parser = new Parser();
const sql = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE age > 30';
const formattedSQL = parser.sqlify(parser.astify(sql));
console.log(formattedSQL);
SQL Dialect Support
This feature allows you to specify the SQL dialect (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) when parsing SQL queries. This ensures that the parser correctly interprets the syntax and semantics of the specified dialect.
const { Parser } = require('node-sql-parser');
const parser = new Parser();
const sql = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE age > 30';
const ast = parser.astify(sql, { database: 'mysql' });
console.log(JSON.stringify(ast, null, 2));
The sql-parser package is a simple SQL parser for Node.js. It provides basic parsing capabilities but lacks the advanced features and dialect support of node-sql-parser.
The sql-formatter package focuses on formatting SQL queries. It provides a range of formatting options but does not offer parsing or AST generation capabilities like node-sql-parser.
Sequelize is an ORM for Node.js that supports various SQL dialects. While it provides some query parsing and generation capabilities, its primary focus is on database interaction and ORM functionalities, making it more comprehensive but also more complex than node-sql-parser.
Nodejs SQL Parser
Parse simple SQL statements into an abstract syntax tree (AST) with the visited tableList, columnList and convert it back to SQL.
:star: Features
support multiple sql statement seperate by semicolon
support select, delete, update and insert type
support drop, truncate and rename command
output the table and column list that the sql visited with the corresponding authority
// support all database parser, but file size is about 750K
<script src="https://unpkg.com/node-sql-parser/umd/index.umd.js"></script>
// or you can import specified database parser only, it's about 150K<scriptsrc="https://unpkg.com/node-sql-parser/umd/mysql.umd.js"></script><scriptsrc="https://unpkg.com/node-sql-parser/umd/postgresql.umd.js"></script>

whiteListCheck function check on table mode and MySQL database by default
const { Parser } = require('node-sql-parser');
const parser = newParser();
const sql = 'UPDATE a SET id = 1 WHERE name IN (SELECT name FROM b)'const whiteTableList = ['(select|update)::(.*)::(a|b)'] // array that contain multiple authoritiesconst opt = {
database: 'MySQL',
type: 'table',
}
// opt is optional
parser.whiteListCheck(sql, whiteTableList, opt) // if check failed, an error would be thrown with relevant error message, if passed it would return undefined
check column authority
const { Parser } = require('node-sql-parser');
const parser = newParser();
const sql = 'UPDATE a SET id = 1 WHERE name IN (SELECT name FROM b)'const whiteColumnList = ['select::null::name', 'update::a::id'] // array that contain multiple authoritiesconst opt = {
database: 'MySQL',
type: 'column',
}
// opt is optional
parser.whiteListCheck(sql, whiteColumnList, opt) // if check failed, an error would be thrown with relevant error message, if passed it would return undefined
