answer re: Regular expression to remove comments from SQL statement

Dec 11 '12

In PHP, i'm using this code to uncomment SQL:

$sqlComments = '@(([\'"]).*?[^\\\]\2)|((?:\#|--).*?$|/\*(?:[^/*]|/(?!\*)|\*(?!/)|(?R))*\*\/)\s*|(?<=;)\s+@ms';
/* Commented version
$sqlComments = '@
    (([\'"]).*?[^\\\]\2) # $1 : Skip single & double quoted expressions
    |(                   # $3 : Match comments
        (?:\#|--).*?$    # - Single line comments
        |                # - Multi line (nested) comments
         /\*             #   .
