I'm curious because I have a similar use case for a querying frontend. Did you consider using https://github.com/tobymao/sqlglot? If so, what was missing to justify writing your own parser?

Good question! The main reason is that sqlglot is written in Python, so it wouldn't integrate natively with our Go codebase. We actually faced a similar decision with pg_query_go (https://github.com/pganalyze/pg_query_go) and passed on that too, anything that requires bridging another language means translating the AST back into Go, which adds a performance cost we wanted to avoid.
