Sqltoken is a high-performance hand-coded tokenizer for SQL strings. It's high-performance so that it can be used in situations where it is being run on every query.

The tokenization is somewhat rough: it correctly detects comments and numbers, but it depending on the situation and the SQL variant, it may think an indentifier is a literal.

It has support of MySQL/MariaDB/Singlestore, Postgres/CockroachDB, Oracle, and SQL server.

The return value is an array of simple tokens:

type Token struct {
	Type TokenType
	Text string
}

Concatting the Text portions togehter will reconstruct the original input:

TokenizeMySQL(s).String() == s

SQL token can be used to strip comments from SQL code. It can be used to parse out variables to substitute.

This is new code. It has lots of tests and complete coverage, but feedback from users would be valuable.
