The real PostgreSQL parser for Node.js, pgsql-parser provides symmetric parsing and deparsing of SQL statements using the actual PostgreSQL parser. It allows you to parse SQL queries into AST and modify or reconstruct SQL queries from the AST.
npm install pgsql-parser- True PostgreSQL Parsing: Utilizes the real PostgreSQL source code for accurate parsing.
- Symmetric Parsing and Deparsing: Convert SQL to AST and back, enabling query manipulation.
- AST Manipulation: Easily modify parts of a SQL statement through the AST.
Rewrite part of a SQL query:
import { parse, deparse } from 'pgsql-parser';
const stmts = parse('SELECT * FROM test_table');
// Assuming the structure of stmts is known and matches the expected type
stmts[0].RawStmt.stmt.SelectStmt.fromClause[0].RangeVar.relname = 'another_table';
console.log(deparse(stmts));
// SELECT * FROM "another_table"The pgsql-deparser module serializes ASTs to SQL in pure TypeScript, avoiding the full parser's native dependencies. It's useful when only SQL string conversion from ASTs is needed, and is written in pure TypeScript for easy cross-environment deployment.
Here's how you can use the deparser in your TypeScript code, using @pgsql/utils to create an AST for deparse:
import ast, { SelectStmt } from '@pgsql/utils';
import { deparse } from 'pgsql-deparser';
// This could have been obtained from any JSON or AST, not necessarily @pgsql/utils
const stmt: SelectStmt = ast.selectStmt({
targetList: [
ast.resTarget({
val: ast.columnRef({
fields: [ast.aStar()]
})
})
],
fromClause: [
ast.rangeVar({
relname: 'some_table',
inh: true,
relpersistence: 'p'
})
],
limitOption: 'LIMIT_OPTION_DEFAULT',
op: 'SETOP_NONE'
});
// Modify the AST if needed
stmt.SelectStmt.fromClause[0].RangeVar.relname = 'another_table';
// Deparse the modified AST back to a SQL string
console.log(deparse(stmts));
// Output: SELECT * FROM another_tablenpm install -g pgsql-parser
pgsql-parser <sqlfile>Parses the query and returns a parse object.
| parameter | type | description |
|---|---|---|
query |
String | SQL query |
Returns an object in the format:
{ query: <query|Object>,
error: { message: <message|String>,
fileName: <fileName|String>,
lineNumber: <line|Number>,
cursorPosition: <cursor|Number> }
Deparses the query tree and returns a formatted SQL statement. This function takes as input a query AST
in the same format as the query property of on the result of the parse method. This is the primary
functionality of this module.
| parameter | type | description |
|---|---|---|
query |
Object | Query tree obtained from parse |
Returns a normalized formatted SQL string.
As of PG 13, PG majors versions maintained will have a matching dedicated major npm version. Only the latest Postgres stable release receives active updates.
Our latest is built with 13-latest branch from libpg_query

- pgsql-deparser: A streamlined tool designed for converting PostgreSQL ASTs back into SQL queries, focusing solely on deparser functionality to complement
pgsql-parser. - pgsql-enums: A utility package offering easy access to PostgreSQL enumeration types in JSON format, aiding in string and integer conversions of enums used within ASTs to compliment
pgsql-parser - @pgsql/enums: Provides PostgreSQL AST enums in TypeScript, enhancing type safety and usability in projects interacting with PostgreSQL AST nodes.
- @pgsql/types: Offers TypeScript type definitions for PostgreSQL AST nodes, facilitating type-safe construction, analysis, and manipulation of ASTs.
- @pgsql/utils: A comprehensive utility library for PostgreSQL, offering type-safe AST node creation and enum value conversions, simplifying the construction and manipulation of PostgreSQL ASTs.
- pg-proto-parser: A TypeScript tool that parses PostgreSQL Protocol Buffers definitions to generate TypeScript interfaces, utility functions, and JSON mappings for enums.
- libpg-query: The real PostgreSQL parser exposed for Node.js, used primarily in
pgsql-parserfor parsing and deparsing SQL queries.
