Create AST for SQL statement

// import Parser for all databases
const { Parser } = require('node-sql-parser');
const parser = new Parser();
const ast = parser.astify('SELECT * FROM t'); // mysql sql grammer parsed by default

console.log(ast);

ast for SELECT * FROM t

{
  "with": null,
  "type": "select",
  "options": null,
  "distinct": null,
  "columns": "*",
  "from": [
    {
      "db": null,
      "table": "t",
      "as": null
    }
  ],
  "where": null,
  "groupby": null,
  "having": null,
  "orderby": null,
  "limit": null
}

Get node location in the AST

const { Parser } = require('node-sql-parser');
const parser = new Parser();
const ast = parser.astify('SELECT * FROM t', { parseOptions: { includeLocations: true } });

console.log(ast);

ast for SELECT * FROM t with the loc property indicating locations and ranges

{
  "with": null,
  "type": "select",
  "options": null,
  "distinct": null,
  "columns": [
    {
      "expr": {
        "type": "column_ref",
        "table": null,
        "column": "*"
      },
      "as": null,
      "loc": {
        "start": {
          "offset": 7,
          "line": 1,
          "column": 8
        },
        "end": {
          "offset": 8,
          "line": 1,
          "column": 9
        }
      }
    }
  ],
  "into": {
    "position": null
  },
  "from": [
    {
      "db": null,
      "table": "t",
      "as": null,
      "loc": {
        "start": {
          "offset": 14,
          "line": 1,
          "column": 15
        },
        "end": {
          "offset": 15,
          "line": 1,
          "column": 16
        }
      }
    }
  ],
  "where": null,
  "groupby": null,
  "having": null,
  "orderby": null,
  "limit": null,
  "locking_read": null,
  "window": null,
  "loc": {
    "start": {
      "offset": 0,
      "line": 1,
      "column": 1
    },
    "end": {
      "offset": 15,
      "line": 1,
      "column": 16
    }
  }
}

Convert AST back to SQL

const opt = {
  database: 'MySQL' // MySQL is the default database
}
// import mysql parser only
const { Parser } = require('node-sql-parser');
const parser = new Parser()
// opt is optional
const ast = parser.astify('SELECT * FROM t', opt);
const sql = parser.sqlify(ast, opt);

console.log(sql); // SELECT * FROM `t`

Parse specified Database

There two ways to parser the specified database.

import Parser from the specified database path node-sql-parser/build/{database}

// import transactsql parser only
const { Parser } = require('node-sql-parser/build/transactsql')
const parser = new Parser()
const sql = `SELECT id FROM test AS result`
const ast = parser.astify(sql)
console.log(parser.sqlify(ast)) // SELECT [id] FROM [test] AS [result]

OR you can pass a options object to the parser, and specify the database property.

const opt = {
  database: 'Postgresql'
}
// import all databases parser
const { Parser } = require('node-sql-parser')
const parser = new Parser()
// pass the opt config to the corresponding methods
const ast = parser.astify('SELECT * FROM t', opt)
const sql = parser.sqlify(ast, opt)
console.log(sql); // SELECT * FROM "t"

Get TableList, ColumnList, Ast by `parse` function

const opt = {
  database: 'MariaDB' // MySQL is the default database
}
const { Parser } = require('node-sql-parser/build/mariadb');
const parser = new Parser()
// opt is optional
const { tableList, columnList, ast } = parser.parse('SELECT * FROM t', opt);

Get the SQL visited tables

get the table list that the sql visited
the format is {type}::{dbName}::{tableName} // type could be select, update, delete or insert

const opt = {
  database: 'MySQL'
}
const { Parser } = require('node-sql-parser/build/mysql');
const parser = new Parser();
// opt is optional
const tableList = parser.tableList('SELECT * FROM t', opt);

console.log(tableList); // ["select::null::t"]

if the table name is prefixed with database name, the table name will be parsed as dbName::tableName
if the table name is prefixed with database and schema name, the table name will be parsed as dbName.schemaName::tableName
if the table name is prefixed with server name in TransactSQL, the table name will be parsed as serverName.dbName.schemaName::tableName

Get the SQL visited columns

get the column list that the sql visited
the format is {type}::{tableName}::{columnName} // type could be select, update, delete or insert
for select *, delete and insert into tableName values() without specified columns, the .* column authority regex is required

const opt = {
  database: 'MySQL'
}
const { Parser } = require('node-sql-parser/build/mysql');
const parser = new Parser();
// opt is optional
const columnList = parser.columnList('SELECT t.id FROM t', opt);

console.log(columnList); // ["select::t::id"]

Check the SQL with Authority List

check table authority
whiteListCheck function check on table mode and MySQL database by default

const { Parser } = require('node-sql-parser');
const parser = new Parser();
const sql = 'UPDATE a SET id = 1 WHERE name IN (SELECT name FROM b)'
const whiteTableList = ['(select|update)::(.*)::(a|b)'] // array that contain multiple authorities
const 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 = new Parser();
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 authorities
const 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
