p5-SQL-SplitStatement

Split any SQL code into atomic statements

SQL::SplitStatement is a simple module which tries to split any SQL code, even including non-standard extensions, into the atomic statements it is composed of. The logic used to split the SQL code is more sophisticated than a raw split on the ; (semicolon) character: first, various different statement terminator tokens are recognized (see below for the list), then this module is able to correctly handle the presence of said tokens inside identifiers, values, comments, BEGIN ... END blocks (even nested), dollar-quoted strings, MySQL custom DELIMITERs, procedural code etc., as (partially) exemplified in the "SYNOPSIS" above. Consider however that this is by no means a validating parser (technically speaking, it's just a context-sensitive tokenizer). It should rather be seen as an in-progress heuristic approach, which will gradually improve as test cases will be reported. This also means that, except for the "LIMITATIONS" detailed below, there is no known (to the author) SQL code the most current release of this module can't correctly split.
