  • Compilers is a good course to take if you want more background knowledge. It helps to understand parser generators if you want to know what these files do, for example.

  • sqlfluff

    A modular SQL linter and auto-formatter with support for multiple dialects and templated code.

  • There's a SQL parser/linter called SQLFluff that my team uses for our CI/CD. I've made a few pull requests to fix the parser for the particular SQL dialect we used, and my college compiler classes definitely helped.
