sqlparse is a non-validating SQL parser library for Python that tokenizes SQL text, splits scripts into statements, formats them, and exposes a traversable token tree. It makes no dialect assumptions, so vendor extensions and templated SQL parse fine, and it also ships a sqlformat command-line tool.

Use cases

• parse SQL statements in Python
• format and pretty-print SQL queries
• split a SQL script into individual statements
• build a SQL linter or query analyzer
• reformat SQL files from the command line
• inspect the token structure of a SQL query

When to choose

• you need to parse, split, or reformat SQL without strict validation
• you work with mixed or non-standard SQL dialects and templated SQL
• you're building tooling like formatters, linters, or editors on top of SQL text

When to avoid

• you need full SQL validation or a complete syntax/semantic parse tree
• you need to execute queries or need a database driver
• you need dialect-specific ASTs with exact grammar rules
