Supported SQL Queries

This page contains a short list of queries that can be correctly parsed with our parser. If you are interested in finding out if a certain feature is supported, it is probably the easiest to checkout the repository and try the example project or check our list of known limitations. Also the file queries-good.sql shows a list of queries which are parsable with the current version.

Select Statements

We implement a broad support for the most common elements for SELECT statements. Following are a few examples of basic constructs that are supported.

SELECT name, city, *
    FROM students AS t1 JOIN students AS t2 ON t1.city = t2.city
    WHERE t1.grade < 2.0 AND
          t2.grade > 2.0 AND
          t1.city = 'Frohnau'
    ORDER BY t1.grade DESC;

SELECT city, AVG(grade) AS average,
    MIN(grade) AS best, MAX(grade) AS worst
    FROM students
    GROUP BY city;

Data Definition & Modification

Create Tables

CREATE TABLE students (
    name TEXT,
    student_number INTEGER,
    city TEXT,
    grade DOUBLE
);

Update and Delete

UPDATE students SET name='Max Mustermann' WHERE name = 'Ralf Mustermann';

DELETE FROM students WHERE name = 'Max Mustermann';

Prepared Statements

The definition and execution of prepared statements is supported using the following syntax.

PREPARE select_test FROM 'SELECT * FROM customer WHERE c_name = ?;';

EXECUTE select_test('Max Mustermann');
