About:
libpg_query is a C library that extracts the PostgreSQL query parser into a standalone component. It allows developers to parse SQL queries into parse trees without needing a running database server. This enables powerful static analysis, linting, and rewriting of SQL queries within external applications.
Key Features:
  • Standalone PostgreSQL parser extracted from server code
  • No database connection required for parsing
  • Outputs detailed parse trees and raw parse trees
  • Supports multiple PostgreSQL versions
Use Cases:
  • SQL linters and formatters
  • Static analysis tools for query optimization
  • SQL query rewriting and migration tools
  • Database schema visualization
Alternatives:
  • sqlparse – Python-based tokenizer/parser that is less strict and doesn't use the actual PostgreSQL parser
  • libpq – PostgreSQL client library that requires a server connection; libpg_query works offline
