    For MySQL the situation is a bit different. sqlc uses the parser of TiDB (https://github.com/pingcap/parser), which is a parser that aims to be basically compatible with MySQL, but is quite young and is not a MySQL parser. The most basic queries work, but even simple joins or aggregations usually result in variables with unknown data types or wrong nullability. So you loose a lot of the benefits of sqlc. Manual type annotations for MySQL also do not work most of the time. They are simply ignored and forwarded to MySQL as invalid query if they do not occur on a place where sqlc is expecting them.

    This is a disaster waiting to happen. Regular expressions should never be used to parse non-regular languages, of which SQL is one.

    There are a variety of mature MySQL dialect parsers available[1][2], and MySQL should have its own public APIs for transforming a query into an AST. Any of those would be a safer and more correct alternative.
