copied!<p>After searching for a CLI tool for syntax linting in Mysql to use in Jenkins and didn't find anything quickly (this Stackoverflow question is one of the first results - LOL) I came up with the following solution (OS: Linux, but should be feasible with Windows too):</p> <p>Something like the follwoing:</p> <pre><code>lint_result=`mysql mysql_test -B -f -e 'select asdf s where x;' 2>&1`; if [ `echo $lint_result | sed -r "s/ERROR ([0-9]*).*/\1/g"` -eq 1064 ]; then echo -e "Syntax error:\n${lint_result}"; fi Syntax error: ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'where x' at line 1 </code></pre> <p>(To check sql files you can use "< filename.sql" instead of -b -e 'statement')</p> <p>If the syntax of the query can not be parsed by mysql it claims: ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1</p> <p>Only if the syntax is correct it tries to execute the query and realize that the table don't exists but this isn't interesting anymore:</p> <pre><code>ERROR 1146 (42S02) at line 1: Table 'mysql_test.s' doesn't exist </code></pre> <p>Therefor Error 1064 is the invalid syntax. You only need to create an empty test database because otherwise only errors with a wrong FROM part would appear (here for example the database is needed in order to get a valid syntax check result: 'select asdf from s where x and if;). </p> <p>As far as i tested it works fine (Version Mysql 5.5). </p> <p>Here a complete bash script vesion:</p> <pre><code>#!/bin/bash source_dir=${1}; database="mysql_test"; mysql_args="-h127.0.0.1"; mysql $mysql_args -B -e "DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS $database; CREATE DATABASE $database;"; for file in `find $source_dir -name "*.sql"`; do lint_result=`mysql $mysql_args $database -f -b < $file 2>&1`; if [ "`echo $lint_result | sed -r \"s/ERROR ([0-9]*).*/\1/g\"`" = "1064" ]; then echo -e "Syntax error in file ${file}:\n${lint_result}" && exit 1; fi; done </code></pre>
