SQL dialect

Trino SQL Parser for Java and .NET

General SQL Parser (GSP) parses Trino with a dedicated, hand-tuned grammar — full AST access, offline syntax validation, formatting, rewriting, and column-level data lineage . One commercial SDK, 38 dialects, Java and .NET.

Example

Trino SQL that GSP parses

SELECT student, score
FROM tests
CROSS JOIN UNNEST(scores) AS t(score);

Parse it in Java

import gudusoft.gsqlparser.*;

TGSqlParser parser = new TGSqlParser(EDbVendor.dbvtrino);
parser.sqltext = sql; // the Trino SQL above
if (parser.parse() == 0) {
    System.out.println(parser.sqlstatements.size() + " statement(s) parsed");
} else {
    System.out.println(parser.getErrormessage());
}

The .NET edition exposes the same API in C# — see the C# quick start.

Common questions

Do I need a Trino database connection to validate SQL?

No. GSP validates Trino syntax completely offline. You get error line and column positions, the offending token, and a hint — with no server, driver, or credentials involved.

Can I use the Trino parser from C# / .NET?

Yes. The .NET edition (NuGet package gudusoft.gsqlparser, .NET Standard 2.0) exposes the same API surface as the Java edition, so every Trino parsing feature on this page works in C# and VB.NET.

Can GSP extract column-level lineage from Trino SQL?

Yes. The built-in DataFlowAnalyzer produces column-level lineage, impact analysis, and call graphs from Trino scripts — it is the engine behind Gudu SQLFlow and the lineage integrations for DataHub and OpenMetadata.
