This is not as structured as the information available about the above types. See the [ParserManual](https://github.com/greenlion/PHP-SQL-Parser/wiki/Parser-Manual) for more information. ### Other SQL dialects [](#other-sql-dialects) Since the MySQL SQL dialect is very close to SQL-92, this should work for most database applications that need a SQL parser. If using another database dialect, then you may want to change the reserved words - see the [ParserManual](https://github.com/greenlion/PHP-SQL-Parser/wiki/Parser-Manual). It supports UNION, subqueries and compound statements. ### External dependencies [](#external-dependencies) The parser is a self contained class. It has no external dependencies. The parser uses a small amount of regex. ### Focus [](#focus) The focus of the parser is complete and accurate support for the MySQL SQL dialect. The focus is not on optimizing for performance. It is expected that you will present syntactically valid queries. ### Manual [](#manual) [ParserManual](https://github.com/greenlion/PHP-SQL-Parser/wiki/Parser-Manual) - Check out the manual. ### Example Output [](#example-output) **Example Query** ``` SELECT STRAIGHT_JOIN a, b, c FROM some_table an_alias WHERE d > 5; ``` **Example Output (via print\_r)** ``` Array ( [OPTIONS] => Array ( [0] => STRAIGHT_JOIN ) [SELECT] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [expr_type] => colref [base_expr] => a [sub_tree] => [alias] => `a` ) [1] => Array ( [expr_type] => colref [base_expr] => b [sub_tree] => [alias] => `b` ) [2] => Array ( [expr_type] => colref [base_expr] => c [sub_tree] => [alias] => `c` ) ) [FROM] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [table] => some_table [alias] => an_alias [join_type] => JOIN [ref_type] => [ref_clause] => [base_expr] => [sub_tree] => ) ) [WHERE] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [expr_type] => colref [base_expr] => d [sub_tree] => ) [1] => Array ( [expr_type] => operator [base_expr] => > [sub_tree] => ) [2] => Array ( [expr_type] => const [base_expr] => 5 [sub_tree] => ) ) ) ``` ### Health Score 33 — LowBetter than 72% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity20 Limited adoption so far Community18 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity63 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 93.4% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
