    Gotcha, since we haven't actually written all of this yet I don't have any useful code snippets to share but we've discussed tackling the problem internally using something like sqlparse. You'd need to identify the relevant sql chunks, parse them for table dependency information and then create the relevant entities in whichever data lineage tool you were using.

    Regular expressions is a popular approach to extract information from SQL statements. However, regular expressions quickly become too complex to handle common features like WITH, sub-queries, windows clauses, aliases and quotes. sqlparse is a popular python package that uses regular expressions to parse SQL.

    We used this repo for this: https://github.com/andialbrecht/sqlparse. I may have miscommunicated. We didn't write the parser from scratch, we created a way for the parser to detect downstream and upstream dependencies of the resource.
