Need help developing an interpreter
Look into "parser combinators" for building an interpreter. There's a few ones out there, but PyParsing is one I've seen around that looks pretty nifty.

About a month ago I posted about PRegEx, an open-source project which I had started that you can use to build RegEx patterns programmatically, which the subreddit seem to like. This prompted me to keep working on it, and one month later, PRegEx v2.0.0 is out!
I havent found a way to specify an exact character match in pyparsing - https://github.com/pyparsing/pyparsing/discussions/443

Parser Combinators in Haskell
Since it is not mentioned in the article: Python users may also want to check out pyparsing [0]. It is slightly different from Parsec/FParsec (for instance, it ignores all whitespace by default), but I think it is a really good project.

Script for extracting info from a SQL File
If your SQL has fairly complex structure, you will need a full blown SQL parser. If your statements are mostly simple select, you can get pretty close with Pyparsing, here is an example.
