pg_parse VS JSqlParser

Compare pg_parse vs JSqlParser and see what are their differences.

pg_parse

PostgreSQL parser for Rust that uses the actual PostgreSQL server source to parse SQL queries and return the internal PostgreSQL parse tree. (by paupino)

JSqlParser

JSqlParser parses an SQL statement and translate it into a hierarchy of Java classes. The generated hierarchy can be navigated using the Visitor Pattern (by JSQLParser)

    I wonder if this is a topical thread to check if anyone is aware of a Java based solution to parse a CREATE VIEW statement to get a mapping between the view columns and the corresponding source table columns. I checked out jsqlparser[0] and it does produce an AST which can be parsed using the visitor-pattern[1] but was wondering if there is a more "out-of-the-box" solution. Due to various reasons, querying the database information schema is not an option I can pursue.

    JSQLParser can parse multiple SQL dialects like MySQL, Postgres and Oracle. The grammar can be modified to support other SQL dialects.

    Interesting coincidence - I'm working on a parser that parses the AST produced by JSqlParser[0] for a create view statement to generate mapping between the columns of a view and the columns of its underlying table. It is an interesting example of having to use the visitor pattern[1].
