SQL translator

Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

The SQL parser can be used as a SQL translator, as shown in action on our website: https://www.jooq.org/translate. The fact that translation happens is just an emerging feature of combining:

  • The parser API to parse a SQL string into the jOOQ query object model API
  • Using jOOQ to render the query object model again into a SQL string.

The simplest example is this one:

System.out.println(create.parser().parse("SELECT 1").toString());

This will parse the generic SQL string SELECT 1, and render it according to the configured Configuration, SQLDialect, Settings, etc.
