Here is a validator, which validates against SQL 92/99/2003 standards however the fact you mention MySQL leads me to believe you are using MySQL specific syntax in your SQL queries.

Couple of "ifs" in the overall approach and this is all contingent on the fact you are willing/able in the current state to write agnostic SQL code.
