How to test SQL for validity from the command line?

Question

Is there a good tool for ensuring that an SQL query is valid ANSI SQL, and optionally what DBMSs will fail to interpret it? I\'ve found http://developer.mimer.com/validator

Answer 1

Here is a SQL Library that can help you to do vendor-specific offline SQL syntax check via command line, both Java and .NET demo were available.

Answer 2

Maybe a parser/generator like ANTLR or JavaCC has an ANSI SQL 92 grammar already built. If so, you can run the parser/generator, build the classes that come out, and Bob's your uncle.

I see that ANTLR has one that's based on Oracle PL/SQL. Maybe that can help you. ANTLR is a terrific tool, well worth knowing.
