SQLGlot is a no-dependency SQL parser, transpiler, optimizer, and engine. It can be used to format SQL or translate between 21 different dialects like DuckDB, Presto / Trino, Spark / Databricks, Snowflake, and BigQuery. It aims to read a wide variety of SQL inputs and output syntactically and semantically correct SQL in the targeted dialects.
It is a very comprehensive generic SQL parser with a robust test suite. It is also quite performant, while being written purely in Python.
You can easily customize the parser, analyze queries, traverse expression trees, and programmatically build SQL.
Syntax errors are highlighted and dialect incompatibilities can warn or raise depending on configurations. However, SQLGlot does not aim to be a SQL validator, so it may fail to detect certain syntax errors.

FAQ
I tried to parse SQL that should be valid but it failed, why did that happen?
- Most of the time, issues like this occur because the "source" dialect is omitted during parsing. For example, this is how to correctly parse a SQL query written in Spark SQL:
parse_one(sql, dialect="spark")
(alternatively:read="spark"
). If no dialect is specified,parse_one
will attempt to parse the query according to the "SQLGlot dialect", which is designed to be a superset of all supported dialects. If you tried specifying the dialect and it still doesn't work, please file an issue.
I tried to output SQL but it's not in the correct dialect!
- Like parsing, generating SQL also requires the target dialect to be specified, otherwise the SQLGlot dialect will be used by default. For example, to transpile a query from Spark SQL to DuckDB, do
parse_one(sql, dialect="spark").sql(dialect="duckdb")
(alternatively:transpile(sql, read="spark", write="duckdb")
).
I tried to parse invalid SQL and it worked, even though it should raise an error! Why didn't it validate my SQL?
- SQLGlot does not aim to be a SQL validator - it is designed to be very forgiving. This makes the codebase more comprehensive and also gives more flexibility to its users, e.g. by allowing them to include trailing commas in their projection lists.
Examples
Formatting and Transpiling
Easily translate from one dialect to another. For example, date/time functions vary between dialects and can be hard to deal with:
import sqlglot
transpile("SELECT EPOCH_MS(1618088028295)", read="duckdb", write="hive")[0]
'SELECT FROM_UNIXTIME(1618088028295 / POW(10, 3))'
SQLGlot can even translate custom time formats:
import sqlglot
transpile("SELECT STRFTIME(x, '%y-%-m-%S')", read="duckdb", write="hive")[0]
"SELECT DATE_FORMAT(x, 'yy-M-ss')"
Identifier delimiters and data types can be translated as well:
import sqlglot
# Spark SQL requires backticks (`) for delimited identifiers and uses `FLOAT` over `REAL`
sql = """WITH baz AS (SELECT a, c FROM foo WHERE a = 1) SELECT f.a, b.b, baz.c, CAST("b"."a" AS REAL) d FROM foo f JOIN bar b ON f.a = b.a LEFT JOIN baz ON f.a = baz.a"""
# Translates the query into Spark SQL, formats it, and delimits all of its identifiers
print(transpile(sql, write="spark", identify=True, pretty=True)[0])
WITH `baz` AS (
SELECT
`a`,
`c`
FROM `foo`
WHERE
`a` = 1
)
SELECT
`f`.`a`,
`b`.`b`,
`baz`.`c`,
CAST(`b`.`a` AS FLOAT) AS `d`
FROM `foo` AS `f`
JOIN `bar` AS `b`
ON `f`.`a` = `b`.`a`
LEFT JOIN `baz`
ON `f`.`a` = `baz`.`a`
Comments are also preserved on a best-effort basis:
sql = """
/* multi
line
comment
*/
SELECT
tbl.cola /* comment 1 */ + tbl.colb /* comment 2 */,
CAST(x AS SIGNED), # comment 3
y -- comment 4
FROM
bar /* comment 5 */,
tbl # comment 6
"""
# Note: MySQL-specific comments (`#`) are converted into standard syntax
print(transpile(sql, read='mysql', pretty=True)[0])
/* multi
line
comment
*/
SELECT
tbl.cola /* comment 1 */ + tbl.colb /* comment 2 */,
CAST(x AS INT), /* comment 3 */
y /* comment 4 */
FROM bar /* comment 5 */, tbl /* comment 6 */
Metadata
You can explore SQL with expression helpers to do things like find columns and tables in a query:
from sqlglot import parse_one, exp
# print all column references (a and b)
for column in parse_one("SELECT a, b + 1 AS c FROM d").find_all(exp.Column):
print(column.alias_or_name)
# find all projections in select statements (a and c)
for select in parse_one("SELECT a, b + 1 AS c FROM d").find_all(exp.Select):
for projection in select.expressions:
print(projection.alias_or_name)
# find all tables (x, y, z)
for table in parse_one("SELECT * FROM x JOIN y JOIN z").find_all(exp.Table):
print(table.name)
Read the ast primer to learn more about SQLGlot's internals.
Parser Errors
When the parser detects an error in the syntax, it raises a ParseError
:
import sqlglot
transpile("SELECT foo FROM (SELECT baz FROM t")
sqlglot.errors.ParseError: Expecting ). Line 1, Col: 34.
SELECT foo FROM (SELECT baz FROM t
~
Structured syntax errors are accessible for programmatic use:
import sqlglot
try:
transpile("SELECT foo FROM (SELECT baz FROM t")
except sqlglot.errors.ParseError as e:
print(e.errors)
[{
'description': 'Expecting )',
'line': 1,
'col': 34,
'start_context': 'SELECT foo FROM (SELECT baz FROM ',
'highlight': 't',
'end_context': '',
'into_expression': None
}]
Unsupported Errors
It may not be possible to translate some queries between certain dialects. For these cases, SQLGlot may emit a warning and proceeds to do a best-effort translation by default. Transpilation is difficult and not all permutations are supported. If transpilation does not work, it may not be implemented yet. Well documented / tested PRs / issues are appreciated. Some transpilation cases that require db schemas are made possible through the optimizer but are not included in base transpilation:
import sqlglot
transpile("SELECT APPROX_DISTINCT(a, 0.1) FROM foo", read="presto", write="hive")
APPROX_COUNT_DISTINCT does not support accuracy
'SELECT APPROX_COUNT_DISTINCT(a) FROM foo'
This behavior can be changed by setting the unsupported_level
attribute. For example, we can set it to either RAISE
or IMMEDIATE
to ensure an exception is raised instead:
import sqlglot
transpile("SELECT APPROX_DISTINCT(a, 0.1) FROM foo", read="presto", write="hive", unsupported_level=sqlglot.ErrorLevel.RAISE)
sqlglot.errors.UnsupportedError: APPROX_COUNT_DISTINCT does not support accuracy
Build and Modify SQL
SQLGlot supports incrementally building SQL expressions:
from sqlglot import select, condition
where = condition("x=1").and_("y=1")
select("*").from_("y").where(where).sql()
'SELECT * FROM y WHERE x = 1 AND y = 1'
It's possible to modify a parsed tree:
from sqlglot import parse_one
parse_one("SELECT x FROM y").from_("z").sql()
'SELECT x FROM z'
Parsed expressions can also be transformed recursively by applying a mapping function to each node in the tree:
from sqlglot import exp, parse_one
expression_tree = parse_one("SELECT a FROM x")
def transformer(node):
if isinstance(node, exp.Column) and node.name == "a":
return parse_one("FUN(a)")
return node
transformed_tree = expression_tree.transform(transformer)
transformed_tree.sql()
'SELECT FUN(a) FROM x'
SQL Optimizer
SQLGlot can rewrite queries into an "optimized" form. It performs a variety of techniques to create a new canonical AST. This AST can be used to standardize queries or provide the foundations for implementing an actual engine. For example:
import sqlglot
from sqlglot.optimizer import optimize
print(
optimize(
parse_one("""
SELECT A OR (B OR (C AND D))
FROM x
WHERE Z = date '2021-01-01' + INTERVAL '1' month OR 1 = 0
"""),
schema={"x": {"A": "INT", "B": "INT", "C": "INT", "D": "INT", "Z": "STRING"}}
).sql(pretty=True)
)
SELECT
(
"x"."a" <> 0 OR "x"."b" <> 0 OR "x"."c" <> 0
)
AND (
"x"."a" <> 0 OR "x"."b" <> 0 OR "x"."d" <> 0
) AS "_col_0"
FROM "x" AS "x"
WHERE
CAST("x"."z" AS DATE) = CAST('2021-02-01' AS DATE)
AST Introspection
You can see the AST version of the parsed SQL by calling repr
:
from sqlglot import parse_one
print(repr(parse_one("SELECT a + 1 AS z")))
Select(
expressions=[
Alias(
this=Add(
this=Column(
this=Identifier(this=a, quoted=False)),
expression=Literal(this=1, is_string=False)),
alias=Identifier(this=z, quoted=False))])
AST Diff
SQLGlot can calculate the semantic difference between two expressions and output changes in a form of a sequence of actions needed to transform a source expression into a target one:
from sqlglot import diff, parse_one
diff(parse_one("SELECT a + b, c, d"), parse_one("SELECT c, a - b, d"))
[
Remove(expression=Add(
this=Column(
this=Identifier(this=a, quoted=False)),
expression=Column(
this=Identifier(this=b, quoted=False)))),
Insert(expression=Sub(
this=Column(
this=Identifier(this=a, quoted=False)),
expression=Column(
this=Identifier(this=b, quoted=False)))),
Keep(
source=Column(this=Identifier(this=a, quoted=False)),
target=Column(this=Identifier(this=a, quoted=False))),
...
]
See also: Semantic Diff for SQL.
Custom Dialects
Dialects can be added by subclassing Dialect
:
from sqlglot import exp
from sqlglot.dialects.dialect import Dialect
from sqlglot.generator import Generator
from sqlglot.tokens import Tokenizer, TokenType
class Custom(Dialect):
class Tokenizer(Tokenizer):
QUOTES = ["'", '"']
IDENTIFIERS = ["`"]
KEYWORDS = {
**Tokenizer.KEYWORDS,
"INT64": TokenType.BIGINT,
"FLOAT64": TokenType.DOUBLE,
}
class Generator(Generator):
TRANSFORMS = {exp.Array: lambda self, e: f"[{self.expressions(e)}]"}
TYPE_MAPPING = {
exp.DataType.Type.TINYINT: "INT64",
exp.DataType.Type.SMALLINT: "INT64",
exp.DataType.Type.INT: "INT64",
exp.DataType.Type.BIGINT: "INT64",
exp.DataType.Type.DECIMAL: "NUMERIC",
exp.DataType.Type.FLOAT: "FLOAT64",
exp.DataType.Type.DOUBLE: "FLOAT64",
exp.DataType.Type.BOOLEAN: "BOOL",
exp.DataType.Type.TEXT: "STRING",
}
print(Dialect["custom"])
<class '__main__.Custom'>
SQL Execution
SQLGlot is able to interpret SQL queries, where the tables are represented as Python dictionaries. The engine is not supposed to be fast, but it can be useful for unit testing and running SQL natively across Python objects. Additionally, the foundation can be easily integrated with fast compute kernels, such as Arrow and Pandas.
The example below showcases the execution of a query that involves aggregations and joins:
from sqlglot.executor import execute
tables = {
"sushi": [
{"id": 1, "price": 1.0},
{"id": 2, "price": 2.0},
{"id": 3, "price": 3.0},
],
"order_items": [
{"sushi_id": 1, "order_id": 1},
{"sushi_id": 1, "order_id": 1},
{"sushi_id": 2, "order_id": 1},
{"sushi_id": 3, "order_id": 2},
],
"orders": [
{"id": 1, "user_id": 1},
{"id": 2, "user_id": 2},
],
}
execute(
"""
SELECT
o.user_id,
SUM(s.price) AS price
FROM orders o
JOIN order_items i
ON o.id = i.order_id
JOIN sushi s
ON i.sushi_id = s.id
GROUP BY o.user_id
""",
tables=tables
)
user_id price
1 4.0
2 3.0
