By coincidence, I checked in a change two days ago that might be
helpful.  See https://www.sqlite.org/src/timeline?c=4dbd398d640852d4
for the specific check-in.  If you now build SQLite from canonical
sources, the file "parse.sql" will be left in the build directory.
That file contains SQL text that initializes three SQL tables, the
content of which describe the context-free language grammar that
SQLite uses to parse its SQL input.

There is no documentation of this, but if you have some familiarity
with grammars and parsing and tools like Yacc/Bison or Lemon, then you
should be able to figure it out.

To be clear, I do not expect that the parse.sql file is directly
usable by your application in its current form.  But it is a
machine-readable grammar description, that you can perhaps transform
into a useful format using a script.
