Hey all; I'm Trying to parse an SQL statement using the database without actually running it. For example, I have a tool that generates my SQL for me to accommodate changes in schema. I want to be able to test the generated SQL statements by putting pre-defined dummy values in, and sending the statement to the mysqld. I'm asking for some way to tell the mysqld to parse the statement, but not run it -- some kind of "NOOP SELECT * FROM ..." or "NOOP DELETE FROM users WHERE..." Is there such a capability now?
