pgsql-deparser

pgsql-parser

The real PostgreSQL parser for nodejs. The primary objective of this module is to provide symmetric parsing and deparsing of SQL statements. With this module you can modify parts of a SQL query statement and serialize the query tree back into a formatted SQL statement. It uses the real PostgreSQL parser.

The main functionality provided by this module is deparsing, which PostgreSQL does not have internally.

Installation

npm install pgsql-parser

Example

const parser = require('pgsql-parser');

const query = parser.parse('SELECT * FROM test_table');

query[0].SelectStmt.fromClause[0].RangeVar.relname = 'another_table';

console.log(parser.deparse(query));

// SELECT * FROM "another_table"
