SQL Batch Parser

This is a work-in-progress and not for production use.

Intent

This project tries to solve the problem of finding (batches of) SQL statements to solve problems like GO in a command in an embedded SQL script in the FluentMigrator project.

Structure

The main components are:

• IRangeSearcher
• ISpecialTokenSearcher

IRangeSearcher

Search for a range of things - like comments, quoted identifiers and SQL strings.

ISpecialTokenSearcher

Search for special tokens like GO, or ;. This allows splitting the SQL script into SQL statements and batches.

Example

// This is the variable with your SQL script
var sqlScript = "...";

// This is the found SQL text
string sqlText = null;

// The parser does all the work for us
var parser = new SqlServerBatchParser();

// Handle the GO token
parser.SpecialToken += (sender, evt) => {
    // Handle the special token (e.g. GO)
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(sqlText)) {
        // A GO was found, but no SQL statements
        return;
    }

    // Execute the sqlText
    // TODO...

    // Reset the variable to avoid
    // executing the same SQL code
    // twice when a second GO follows
    // without SQL text in between.
    sqlText = null;
};

// Store the found SQL text
parser.SqlText += (sender, evt) => {
    sqlText = evt.SqlText.Trim();
};

// Define the source to be used by the parser
using (var source = new TextReaderSource(new StringReader(sqlScript), takeOwnership: true))
{
    // This is where the hard stuff happens
    parser.Process(source, stripComments: true);
}
