        SQLFluff is a dialect-flexible and configurable SQL linter. Designed with ELT applications in mind, SQLFluff also works with jinja templating and dbt. SQLFluff will auto-fix most linting errors, allowing you to focus your time on what matters.
        
        
        # Getting Started
        
        To get started, install the package and run `sqlfluff lint` or `sqlfluff fix`.
        
        ```shell
        $ pip install sqlfluff
        $ echo "  SELECT a  +  b FROM tbl;  " > test.sql
        $ sqlfluff lint test.sql
        == [test.sql] FAIL
        L:   1 | P:   1 | L003 | Single indentation uses a number of spaces not a multiple of 4
        L:   1 | P:  14 | L006 | Operators should be surrounded by a single space unless at the start/end of a line
        L:   1 | P:  27 | L001 | Unnecessary trailing whitespace
        ```

        ## [0.6.0] - 2021-06-06
        
        ### Added
        
        - Respect XDG base dirs on Mac OS ([#889](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/issues/889)).
        - Added support for additional delimiters by creating a new DelimiterSegment in the
          ANSI dialect which defaults to the semicolon, but allows it to be more intuitive
          when overriden in a specific child dialect (mysql) [#901](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/issues/901))
        - Added support for the DELIMITER statement in the mysql dialect [#901](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/issues/901))
        - Added support for additional delimiters by creating a new DelimiterSegment in the
          ANSI dialect which defaults to the semicolon, but allows it to be more intuitive
          when overriden in a specific child dialect (mysql) [#901](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/issues/901))
        - Added support for function as a default column value [#849](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/issues/849).
        - Add an `--include-metas` option for parse output to show the meta
          segments in the parse tree.
        - Allow CREATE FUNCTION syntax without arguments [@bolajiwahab](https://github.com/bolajiwahab) [#1063](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/1063).
        - Added support for the CREATE/DROP PROCEDURE statement for the mysql dialect [#901](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/issues/901))
        - Added specific allowed/required syntaxes for CREATE/DROP FUNCTION within the mysql dialect [#901](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/issues/901))
        - Now possible to run sqlfluff commands outside the project root when using the dbt templater.
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Renamed --parallel CLI argument to --processes to be more accurate.
        - L034 now ignores select statements which contain macros.
        - L034 now ignores select statements part of a set expression, most commonly a union.
        - Fix bug [#1082](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/issues/1082), adding
          support for BigQuery `select as struct '1' as bb, 2 as aa` syntax.
        - Rationalisation of the placement of meta segments within templated
          queries to support more reliable indentation. This includes prioritising
          _longer_ invariant sections first and then dropping any shorter ones
          which then are relatively out of place.
        - Additional logging within the lexer and templater engines.
        - Allow meta segments to parse within `Delimited` grammars which otherwise
          don't allow gaps. This is facilitated through an optional agrument to
          `trim_non_code_segments`.
        - Fix bug [#1079](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/issues/1079), addressing
          issues with L025 and L026 with BigQuery column references involving `STRUCT`.
        - [#1080](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/issues/1080) Add
          SET SCHEMA and DROP SCHEMA support to ANSI dialect.

        ## [0.6.0a2] - 2021-05-27
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Better exception handling for the simple parsing API (`sqlfluff.parse`)
          which now raises an exception which holds all potential parsing issues
          and prints nicely with more than one issue.
        - Fix bug [#1037](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/issues/1037), in which fix
          logging had been sent to stdout when reading data from stdin.
        - Add a little bit of fun on CLI exit 🎉!
        - Disabled models in the dbt templater are now skipped entirely rather than
          returning an untemplated file.
        - Add a changelog check to SQLFluff continuous integration.
        - Fix bug [#1083](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/issues/1083), adding
          support for BigQuery named function arguments, used with functions such as
          [ST_GEOGFROMGEOJSON()](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/standard-sql/geography_functions#st_geogfromgeojson)
        - Update documentation links to sqlfluff-online.
        
        ## [0.6.0a1] - 2021-05-15
        
        ### Added

        - Parsing of "ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES" Postgres statement.
        - Parsing of Postgres non-explicit role granting and function execution.
        - Early failing on fatal dbt templater fails.
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Big rewrite of the lexer, segments and position markers for simplicity
          and to support future parallelism work.
        - Fix to L036 which previously mangled whitespace.
        
        ## [0.5.3] - 2021-05-04

        - Speed up L010 with caching capitalisation policy.
        - Output of `sqlfluff dialects` is now sorted.
        - Handle disabled `dbt` models.
        
        ## [0.5.2] - 2021-04-11
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Fix false positive in L045 when CTE used in WHERE clause ([#944](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/issues/944))
        - Logging and readout now includes more detail and a notification of dbt compilation.
        - Fix bug in L048 which flagged adjoining commas as failures.
        - Fix bug in L019 with inline comments.
        - Fix bug in L036 with multiple newlines.
        - Skip disabled dbt models. ([#931](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/issues/931)).
        - Support "USE" statement in ANSI ([#902](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/issues/902)).
        - Parse explain statement ([#893](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/issues/893)).
        
        ## [0.5.1] - 2021-04-09
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Parsing improvements around optional brackets.
        - Better parsing of set operators (like `UNION`) and how they interact with
          `ORDER BY` clauses.
        - Support for comparison operators like `~`.
        - Fix parsing of snowflake `SAMPLE` syntax.
        - Fix recursion issues in L044.
        - `SPACE` keyword now has no special meaning in the postgres dialect.
        
        ## [0.5.0] - 2021-04-05
        
        ### Added
        
        - `pascal` (PascalCase) `capitalisation_policy` option for L014 (unquoted identifiers)
        - `only_aliases` configuration option for L014 (unquoted identifiers)
        - Dialects now have more advanced dependency options to allow less repetition
          between related dialects. The methods `get_segment` and `get_grammar` can be
          used on unexpanded grammars to access elements of the parent grammars.
          The `copy` method on grammars can be used to copy with alterations.
        - Rule L046 to line whitespace within jinja tags.
        - Enable and Disable syntax for [ignoring violations from ranges of lines](https://docs.sqlfluff.com/en/latest/configuration.html#ignoring-line-ranges).
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Renamed the BaseCrawler class to BaseRule. This is the base class for all
          rules. This is a breaking change for any custom rules that have been added
          via plugins or by forking the SQLFluff repo.
        - Renamed `sqlfluff.rules()` to `sqlfluff.list_rules()` and `sqlfluff.dialects()`
          to `sqlfluff.list_dialects()` due to naming conflicts with the now separate
          `sqlfluff.dialects` module.
        - Extracted dialect definitions from the `sqlfluff.core` module so that each
          dialect is better isolated from each other. This also allows more focused
          testing and the potential for dialect plugins in future. Dialects are now
          only imported as needed at runtime. All dialects should now be accessed
          using the selector methods in `sqlfluff.core.dialects` rather than importing
          from `sqlfluff.dialects` directly.
        - Add support for `ALTER USER` commands in Snowflake dialect.
        - Added describe statement to ANSI dialect
        - Renamed `capitalisation_policy` to `extended_capitalisation_policy` for L014
          to reflect the fact that it now accepts more options (`pascal`) than regular
          `capitalisation_policy` still used by L010 and others.
        - Replaced `only_aliases` config with `unquoted_identifiers_policy` and added
          it to rule L014 in addition to L029.
        - Parse structure of `FROM` clauses to better represent nested joins and table
          functions.
        - Parse structure of expressions to avoid unnecessary nesting and overly
          recursive method calls.
        
        ## [0.4.1] - 2021-02-25
        
        ### Added
        
        - Initial architecture for rule plugins to allow custom rules. This
          initial release should be considered _beta_ until the release of
          0.5.0.
        - Add tests for dbt 0.19.0.
        - General increased parsing coverage.
        - Added some missing Postgres syntax elements.
        - Added some basic introspection API elements to output what dialects
          and rules are available for use within the API.
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Fix several Snowflake parsing bugs.
        - Refactor from clause to handle flattens after joins.
        - Fix .get_table_references() in Snowflake dialect.
        - Macros defined within the .sqlfluff config will take precedence over the macros defined in the
          path that is defined with config value `sqlfluff:templater:jinja:load_macros_from_path`.
        - Fix Snowflake indent parsing.
        - Fixed incorrect parsing of syntax-like elements in comments.
        - Altered parsing of `NULL` keywords, so parse as Literals where
          appropriate.
        - Fixed bug in expression parsing leading to recursion errors.
        
        ## [0.4.0] - 2021-02-14
        
        ### Added
        
        - Public API to enable people to import `sqlfluff` as a python module
          and call `parse`, `lint` and `fix` within their own projects. See
          [the docs](https://docs.sqlfluff.com/en/latest/api.html) for more
          information. ([#501](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/501))
        - The ability to use `dbt` as a templating engine directly allowing
          richer and more accurate linting around `dbt` macros (and packages
          related to `dbt`). For more info see [the docs](https://docs.sqlfluff.com/en/latest/configuration.html#dbt-project-configuration). ([#508](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/508))
        - Support for modulo (`%`) operator. ([#447](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/447))
        - A limit in the internal fix routines to catch any infinite loops. ([#494](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/494))
        - Added the `.is_type()` method on segments to more intelligently
          deal with type matching in rules when inheritance is at play.
        - Added the ability for the user to add their own rules when interacting
          with the `Linter` directly using `user_rules`.
        - Added L034 'Fields should be stated before aggregates / window functions' per
          [dbt coding convenventions](https://github.com/fishtown-analytics/corp/blob/master/dbt_coding_conventions.md#sql-style-guide.) ([#495](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/495))
        - Templating tags, such as `{{ variables }}`, `{# comments #}` and
          `{% loops %}` (in jinja) now have placeholders in the parsed
          structure. Rule L003 (indentation), also now respects these
          placeholders so that their indentation is linted accordingly.
          For loop or block tags, they also generate an `Indent` and
          `Dedent` tag accordingly (which can be enabled or disabled)
          with a configuration value so that indentation around these
          functions can be linted accordingly. ([#541](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/541))
        - MyPy type linting into a large proportion of the core library. ([#526](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/526), [#580](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/580))
        - Config values specific to a file can now be defined using a comment
          line starting with `-- sqlfluff:`. ([#541](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/541))
        - Added documentation for `--noqa:` use in rules. ([#552](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/552))
        - Added `pre-commit` hooks for `lint` and `fix`. ([#576](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/576))
        - Added a fix routine for Rule L019 (comma placement). ([#575](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/575))
        - Added Rule L031 to enforce "avoid using alias in the `FROM`/`JOIN` clauses" from the `dbt` coding conventions. ([#473](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/473), [#479](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/479))
        - Added Rule L032 to enforce "do not use `USING`" from the `dbt` coding conventions. ([#487](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/487))
        - Added Rule L033 to enforce "prefer `UNION ALL` to `UNION *`" from the `dbt` coding conventions. ([#489](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/489))
        - Added Rule L034 to enforce "fields should be stated before aggregate/window functions" from the `dbt` coding conventions. ([#495](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/495))
        - Added Rule L038 to forbid (or require) trailing commas in select clauses. ([#362](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/752))
        - Added Rule L039 to lint unnecessary whitespace between elements. ([#502](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/753))
        - Added a fix routine for L015. ([#732](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/732))
        - Added a fix routine for L025. ([#404](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/741))
        - Adopted the `black` coding style. ([#485](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/485))
        - Added validation and documentation for rule configuration options. ([#462](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/462))
        - Added documentation for which rules are fixable. ([#594](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/594))
        - Added `EPOCH` keyword for postgres dialect. ([#522](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/522))
        - Added column index identifier in snowflake dialect. ([#458](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/458))
        - Added `USE` statement to the snowflake dialect. ([#537](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/537))
        - Added `CODE_OF_CONDUCT` to the project. ([#471](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/471))
        - Added `ISNULL` and `NOTNULL` keywords to ansi dialect. ([#441](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/441))
        - Added support for python 3.9. ([#482](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/482))
        - Added `requirements_dev.txt` for local testing/linting. ([#500](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/500))
        - Added CLI option `--disregard-sqlfluffignores` to allow direct linting of files in the `.sqlfluffignore`. ([#486](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/486))
        - Added `dbt` `incremental` macro. ([#363](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/363))
        - Added links to cockroachlabs expression grammars in ansi dialect. ([#592](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/592))
        - Added favicon to the docs website. ([#589](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/589))
        - Added `CREATE FUNCTION` syntax for postgres and for bigquery. ([#325](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/325))
        - Added `CREATE INDEX` and `DROP INDEX` for mysql. ([#740](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/748))
        - Added `IGNORE NULLS`, `RESPECT NULLS`, `GENERATE_DATE_ARRAY` and
          `GENERATE_TIMESTAMP_ARRAY` for bigquery. (
          [#667](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/727),
          [#527](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/726))
        - Added `CREATE` and `CREATE ... CLONE` for snowflake. ([#539](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/670))
        - Added support for EXASOL. ([#684](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/684))
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Fixed parsing of semi-structured objects in the snowflake of dialects
          with whitespace gaps. [#634](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/issues/635)
        - Handle internal errors elegantly, reporting the stacktrace and the
          error-surfacing file. [#632](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/632)
        - Improve message for when an automatic fix is not available for L004. [#633](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/issues/633)
        - Linting errors raised on templated sections are now ignored by default
          and added a configuration value to show them. ([#713](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/745))
        - Big refactor of logging internally. `Linter` is now decoupled from
          logging so that it can be imported directly by subprojects without
          needing to worry about weird output or without the log handing getting
          in the way of your project. ([#460](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/460))
        - Linting errors in the final file are now reported with their position
          in the source file rather than in the templated file. This means
          when using sqlfluff as a plugabble library within an IDE, the
          references match the file which is being edited. ([#541](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/541))
        - Created new Github Organisation (https://github.com/sqlfluff) and
          migrated from https://github.com/alanmcruickshank/sqlfluff to
          https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff. ([#444](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/issues/444))
        - Changed the handling of `*` and `a.b.*` expressions to have their
          own expressions. Any dependencies on this structure downstream
          will be broken. This also fixes the linting of both kinds of expressions
          with regard to L013 and L025. ([#454](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/454))
        - Refactor of L022 to handle poorly formatted CTEs better. ([#494](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/494))
        - Restriction of L017 to only fix when it would delete whitespace or
          newlines. ([#598](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/756))
        - Added a configuration value to L016 to optionally ignore lines
          containing only comments. ([#299](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/751))
        - Internally added an `EphemeralSegment` to aid with parsing efficiency
          without altering the end structure of the query. ([#491](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/491))
        - Split `ObjectReference` into `ColumnReference` and `TableReference`
          for more useful API access to the underlying structure. ([#504](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/504))
        - `KeywordSegment` and the new `SymbolSegment` both now inherit
          from `_ProtoKeywordSegment` which allows symbols to match in a very
          similar way to keywords without later appearing with the `type` of
          `keyword`. ([#504](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/504))
        - Introduced the `Parser` class to parse a lexed query rather than
          relying on users to instantiate a `FileSegment` directly. As a result
          the `FileSegment` has been moved from the core parser directly into
          the dialects. Users can refer to it via the `get_root_segment()`
          method of a dialect. ([#510](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/510))
        - Several performance improvements through removing unused functionality,
          sensible caching and optimising loops within functions. ([#526](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/526))
        - Split up rule tests into separate `yml` files. ([#553](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/553))
        - Allow escaped quotes in strings. ([#557](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/557))
        - Fixed `ESCAPE` parsing in `LIKE` clause. ([#566](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/566))
        - Fixed parsing of complex `BETWEEN` statements. ([#498](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/498))
        - Fixed BigQuery `EXCEPT` clause parsing. ([#472](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/472))
        - Fixed Rule L022 to respect leading comma configuration. ([#455](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/455))
        - Improved instructions on adding a virtual environment in the `README`. ([#457](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/457))
        - Improved documentation for passing CLI defaults in `.sqlfluff`. ([#452](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/452))
        - Fix bug with templated blocks + `capitalisation_policy = lower`. ([#477](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/477))
        - Fix array accessors in snowflake dialect. ([#442](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/442))
        - Color `logging` warnings red. ([#497](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/497))
        - Allow whitespace before a shorthand cast. ([#544](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/544))
        - Silenced warnings when fixing from stdin. ([#522](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/522))
        - Allow an underscore as the first char in a semi structured element key. ([#596](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/596))
        - Fix PostFunctionGrammar in the Snowflake dialect which was causing strange behaviour in L012. ([#619](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/619/files))
        - `Bracketed` segment now obtains its brackets directly from the dialect
          using a set named `bracket_pairs`. This now enables better configuration
          of brackets between dialects. ([#325](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/325))
        
        ### Removed
        
        - Dropped support for python 3.5. ([#482](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/482))
        - From the CLI, the `--no-safety` option has been removed, the default
          is now that all enabled rules will be fixed. ([#583](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/583))
        - Removed `BaseSegment.grammar`, `BaseSegment._match_grammar()` and
          `BaseSegment._parse_grammar()` instead preferring references directly
          to `BaseSegment.match_grammar` and `BaseSegment.parse_grammar`. ([#509](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/509))
        - Removed `EmptySegmentGrammar` and replaced with better non-code handling
          in the `FileSegment` itself. ([#509](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/509))
        - Remove the `ContainsOnly` grammar as it remained only as an anti-pattern. ([#509](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/509))
        - Removed the `expected_string()` functionality from grammars and segments ([#509](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/509))
          as it was poorly supported.
        - Removed `BaseSegment.as_optional()` as now this functionality happens
          mostly in grammars (including `Ref`). ([#509](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/509))
        - Removed `ColumnExpressionSegment` in favour of `ColumnReference`. ([#512](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/512))
        - Removed the `LambdaSegment` feature, instead replacing with an internal
          to the grammar module called `NonCodeMatcher`. ([#512](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/512))
        - Case sensitivity as a feature for segment matching has been removed as
          not required for existing dialects. ([#517](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/517))
        - Dependency on `difflib` or `cdifflib`, by relying on source mapping
          instead to apply fixes. ([#541](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/pull/541))
        
        ## [0.3.6] - 2020-09-24
        
        ### Added
        
        - `sqlfluff dialects` command to get a readout of available
          dialects [+ associated docs].
        - More helpful error messages when trying to run in Python2.
        - Window functions now parse with `IGNORE`/`RESPECT` `NULLS`.
        - Parsing of `current_timestamp` and similar functions. Thanks [@dmateusp](https://github.com/dmateusp).
        - Snowflake `QUALIFY` clause.
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Respect user config directories. Thanks [@sethwoodworth](https://github.com/sethwoodworth).
        - Fix incorrect reporting of L013 with `*`. Thanks [@dmateusp](https://github.com/dmateusp).
        - Fix incorrect reporting of L027 with column aliases. Thanks [@pwildenhain](https://github.com/pwildenhain).
        - Simplification of application of fixes and correction of
          a case where fixes could be depleted. Thanks [@NiallRees](https://github.com/NiallRees).

        - Refactor BigQuery `REPLACE` and `EXCEPT` clauses.
        - Bigquery date parts corrected.
        - Snowflake array accessors.

        - Performance improvements in the `fix` command.
        - Numeric literals starting with a decimal now parse.
        - Refactor the jinja templater.
        
        ## [0.3.5] - 2020-08-03
        
        ### Added
        
        - Patterns and Anti-patterns in documentation. Thanks [@flpezet](https://github.com/flpezet).
        - Functions in `GROUP BY`. Thanks [@flpezet](https://github.com/flpezet).
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Deep bugfixes in the parser to handle simple matching better for a few
          edge cases. Also added some logging deeper in the parser.
        - Added in the `SelectableGrammar` and some related segments to make it
          easier to refer to _select-like_ things in other grammars.
        - Fixes to `CASE` statement parsing. Thanks [@azhard](https://github.com/azhard).
        - Fix to snowflake `SAMPLE` implementation. Thanks [@rkm3](https://github.com/rkm3).
        - Numerous docs fixes. Thanks [@SimonStJG](https://github.com/SimonStJG),
          [@flpezet](https://github.com/flpezet), [@s-pace](https://github.com/s-pace),
          [@nolanbconaway](https://github.com/nolanbconaway).
        
        ## [0.3.4] - 2020-05-13
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Implementation of the bigquery `CREATE MODEL` syntax. Thanks [@barrywhart](https://github.com/barrywhart).
        - Bugfixes for:
          - Edge cases for L006
          - False alarms on L025
          - `ORDER BY x NULLS FIRST|LAST`
          - `FOR` keyword in bigquery `SYSTEM_TIME` syntax.
        
        ## [0.3.3] - 2020-05-11
        
        ### Added
        
        - Added the `--nofail` option to `parse` and `lint` commands to assist
          rollout.
        - Added the `--version` option to complement the `version` option already
          available on the cli.
        - Parsing for `ALTER TABLE`.
        - Warning for unset dialects when getting parsing errors.
        - Configurable line lengths for output.
        
        ## [0.3.2] - 2020-05-08
        
        ### Added
        
        - Support for the Teradata dialect. Thanks [@Katzmann1983](https://github.com/Katzmann1983)!
        - A much more detailed getting started guide in the docs.
        - For the `parse` command, added the `--profiler` and `--bench` options
          to help debugging performance issues.
        - Support for the `do` command in the jinja templater.
        - Proper parsing of the concatenate operator (`||`).
        - Proper indent handling of closing brackets.
        - Logging and benchmarking of parse performance as part of the CI pipeline.
        - Parsing of object references with defaults like `my_db..my_table`.
        - Support for the `INTERVAL '4 days'` style interval expression.
        - Configurable trailing or leading comma linting.
        - Configurable indentation for `JOIN` clauses.
        - Rules now have their own logging interface to improve debugging ability.
        - Snowflake and Postgres dialects.
        - Support for a `.sqlfluffignore` file to ignore certain paths.
        - More generic interfaces for managing keywords in dialects, including `set`
          interfaces for managing and creating keywords and the `Ref.keyword()` method
          to refer to them, and the ability to refer directly to keyword names in
          most grammars using strings directly. Includes `SegmentGenerator` objects
          to bind dialect objects at runtime from sets. Thanks [@Katzmann1983](https://github.com/Katzmann1983)!
        - Rule `L029` for using unreserved keywords as variable names.
        - The jinja templater now allows macros loaded from files, and the
          hydration of variables ending in `_path` in the config files.
        - JSON operators and the `DISTINCT ON ()` syntax for the postgres dialect.
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Refactor of whitespace and non-code handling so that segments are
          less greedy and default to not holding whitespace on ends. This allows
          more consistent linting rule application.
        - Change config file reading to _case-sensitive_ to support case
          sensitivity in jinja templating.
        - Non-string values (including lists) now function in the python
          and jinja templating libraries.
        - Validation of the match results of grammars has been reduced. In
          production cases the validation will still be done, but only on
          _parse_ and not on _match_.
        - At low verbosities, python level logging is also reduced.
        - Some matcher rules in the parser can now be classified as _simple_
          which allows them to shortcut some of the matching routines.
        - Yaml output now double quotes values with newlines or tab characters.
        - Better handling on hanging and closing indents when linting rule L003.
        - More capable handline of multi-line comments so that indentation
          and line length parsing works. This involves some deep changes to the
          lexer.
        - Getting violations from the linter now automatically takes into account
          of ignore rules and filters.
        - Several bugfixes, including catching potential infinite regress during
          fixing of files, if one fix would re-introduce a problem with another.
        - Behaviour of the `Bracketed` grammar has been changed to treat its
          content as a `Sequence` rather than a `OneOf`.
        - Move to `SandboxedEnvironment` rather than `Environment` for jinja
          templating for security.
        - Improve reporting of templating issues, especially for the jinja templater
          so that missing variables are rendered as blanks, but still reported as
          templating violations.
        
        ## [0.3.1] - 2020-02-17
        
        ### Added
        
        - Support for `a.b.*` on top of `a.*` in select target expressions.
        
        ## [0.3.0] - 2020-02-15
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Deprecated python 2.7 and python 3.4 which are now both past
          their maintenance horizon. The 0.2.x branch will remain available
          for continued development for these versions.
        - Rule L003 is now significantly smarter in linting indentation
          with support for hanging indents and comparison to the most
          recent line which doesn't have an error. The old (more simple)
          functionality of directly checking whether an indent was a
          multiple of a preset value has been removed.
        - Fixed the "inconsistent" bug in L010. Thanks [@nolanbconaway](https://github.com/nolanbconaway).
        - Updated logging of parsing and lexing errors to have more useful
          error codes.
        - Changed parsing of expressions to favour functions over identifiers
          to [fix the expression bug](https://github.com/sqlfluff/sqlfluff/issues/96).
        - Fixed the "inconsistent" bug in L010. Thanks [@nolanbconaway](https://github.com/nolanbconaway).
        - Moved where the `SELECT` keyword is parsed within a select statement,
          so that it belongs as part of the newly renamed `select_clause` (renamed
          from previously `select_target_group`).
        - Clarified handling of the `type` and `name` properties of the BaseSegment
          class and its children. `name` should be specific to a particular kind
          of segment, and `type` should express a wider group. Handling of the
          `newline`, `whitespace` and `comma` segments has been updated so that
          we use the `type` property for most use cases rather than `name`.
        
        ### Added
        
        - _Meta segments_ for indicating where things can be present in the parsed
          tree. This is mostly illustrated using the `Indent` and `Dedent` segments
          used for indicating the position of theoretical indents in the structure.
          Several helper functions have been added across the codebase to handle
          this increase in the kinds of segments which might be encountered by
          various grammars.
        - Rule L016 has been added to lint long lines. In the `fix` phase of this
          rule, there is enough logic to try and reconstruct a sensible place for
          line breaks as re-flow the query. This will likely need further work
          and may still encounter places where it doesn't fix all errors but should
          be able to deal with the majority of simple cases.
        - BigQuery dialect, initially just for appropriate quoting.
        - Added parsing of DDL statements such as `COMMIT`, `DROP`, `GRANT`, `REVOKE`
          and `ROLLBACK`. Thanks [@barrywhart](https://github.com/barrywhart).
        - `--format` option to the `parse` command that allows a yaml output. This
          is mostly to make test writing easier in the development process but
          might also be useful for other things.
        - Parsing of set operations like `UNION`.
        - Support for the `diff-cover` tool. Thanks [@barrywhart](https://github.com/barrywhart).
        - Enabled the `fix` command while using `stdin`. Thanks [@nolanbconaway](https://github.com/nolanbconaway).
        - Rule to detect incorrect use of `DISTINCT`. Thanks [@barrywhart](https://github.com/barrywhart).
        - Security fixes from DeepCover. Thanks [@sanketsaurav](https://github.com/sanketsaurav).
        - Automatic fix testing, to help support the newer more complicated rules.
        - Interval literals
        - Support for the `source` macro from dbt. Thanks [@Dandandan](https://github.com/Dandandan)
        - Support for functions with spaces between the function name and the brackets
          and a linting rule `L017` to catch this.
        - Efficiency cache for faster pruning of the parse tree.
        - Parsing of array notation as using in BigQuery and Postgres.
        - Enable the `ignore` parameter on linting and fixing commands to ignore
          particular kinds of violations.
        
        ## [0.2.4] - 2019-12-06
        
        ### Added
        
        - A `--code-only` option to the `parse` command to spit out a more
          simplified output with only the code elements.
        - Rules can now optionally override the description of the violation
          and pass that back via the `LintingResult`.
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Bugfix, correct missing files in `setup.py` `install_requires` section.
        - Better parsing of the _not equal_ operator.
        - Added more exclusions to identifier reserved words to fix cross joins.
        - At verbosity levels 2 or above, the root config is printed and then any
          diffs to that for specific files are also printed.
        - Linting and parsing of directories now reports files in alphabetical
          order. Thanks [@barrywhart](https://github.com/barrywhart).
        - Better python 2.7 stability. Thanks [@barrywhart](https://github.com/barrywhart).
        - Fixing parsing of `IN`/`NOT IN` and `IS`/`IS NOT`.
        
        ## [0.2.3] - 2019-12-02
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Bugfix, default config not included.
        
        ## [0.2.2] - 2019-12-02
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Tweek rule L005 to report more sensibly with newlines.
        - Rework testing of rules to be more modular.
        - Fix a config file bug if no root config file was present for some
          values. Thanks [@barrywhart](https://github.com/barrywhart).
        - Lexing rules are now part of the dialect rather than a
          global so that they can be overridden by other dialects
          when we get to that stage.
        
        ## [0.2.0] - 2019-12-01
        
        ### Added
        
        - Templating support (jinja2, python or raw).
          - Variables + Macros.
          - The `fix` command is also sensitive to fixing over templates
            and will skip certain fixes if it feels that it's conflicted.
        - Config file support, including specifying context for the templater.
        - Documentation via Sphinx and readthedocs.
          - Including a guide on the role of SQL in the real world.
            Assisted by [@barrywhart](https://github.com/barrywhart).
        - Documentation LINTING (given we're a linting project) introduced in CI.
        - Reimplemented L006 & L007 which lint whitespace around operators.
        - Ability to configure rule behaviour directly from the config file.
        - Implemented L010 to lint capitalisation of keywords.
        - Allow casting in the parser using the `::` operator.
        - Implemented `GROUP BY`and `LIMIT`.
        - Added `ORDER BY` using indexes and expressions.
        - Added parsing of `CASE` statements.
        - Support for window/aggregate functions.
        - Added linting and parsing of alias expressions.
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Fixed a bug which could cause potential infinite recursion in configuration
        - Changed how negative literals are handled, so that they're now a compound segment
          rather than being identified at the lexing stage. This is to allow the parser
          to resolve the potential ambiguity.
        - Restructure of rule definitions to be more streamlined and also enable
          autodocumentation. This includes a more complete `RuleSet` class which now
          holds the filtering code.
        - Corrected logging in fix mode not to duplicate the reporting of errors.
        - Now allows insert statements with a nested `with` clause.
        - Fixed verbose logging during parsing.
        - Allow the `Bracketed` grammar to optionally match empty brackets using
          the optional keyword.
        
        ## [0.1.5] - 2019-11-11
        
        ### Added
        
        - Python 3.8 Support!
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Moved some of the responsibility for formatted logging into the linter to mean that we can
          log progressively in large directories.
        - Fixed a bug in the grammar where one of the return values was messed up.
        
        ## [0.1.4] - 2019-11-10
        
        ### Added
        
        - Added a `--exclude-rules` argument to most of the commands to allow rule users
          to exclude specific subset of rules, by [@sumitkumar1209](https://github.com/sumitkumar1209)
        - Added lexing for `!=`, `~` and `::`.
        - Added a new common segment: `LambdaSegment` which allows matching based on arbitrary
          functions which can be applied to segments.
        - Recursive Expressions for both arithmetic and functions, based heavily off the grammar
          provided by the guys at [CockroachDB](https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/stable/sql-grammar.html#select_stmt).
        - An `Anything` grammar, useful in matching rather than in parsing to match anything.
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Complete rewrite of the bracket counting functions, using some centralised class methods
          on the `BaseGrammar` class to support common matching features across multiple grammars.
          In particular this affects the `Delimited` grammar which is now _much simpler_ but does
          also require _slightly_ more liberal use of terminators to match effectively.
        - Rather than passing around multiple variables during parsing and matching, there is now
          a `ParseContext` object which contains things like the dialect and various depths. This
          simplifies the parsing and matching code significantly.
        - Bracket referencing is now done from the dialect directly, rather than in individual
          Grammars (except the `Bracketed` grammar, which still implements it directly). This
          takes out some originally duplicated code.
        - Corrected the parsing of ordering keywords in and `ORDER BY` clause.
        
        ### Removed
        
        - Removed the `bracket_sensitive_forward_match` method from the `BaseGrammar`. It was ugly
          and not flexible enough. It's been replaced by a suite of methods as described above.
        
        ## [0.1.3] - 2019-10-30
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Tweak to the L001 rule so that it doesn't crash the whole thing.
        
        ## [0.1.2] - 2019-10-30
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Fixed the errors raised by the lexer.
        
        ## [0.1.1] - 2019-10-30
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Fixed which modules from sqlfluff are installed in the setup.py. This affects
          the `version` command.
        
        ## [0.1.0] - 2019-10-29
        
        ### Changed
        
        - _Big Rewrite - some loss in functionality might be apparent compared
          to pre-0.1.0. Please submit any major problems as issues on github_
        - Changed unicode handling for better escape codes in python 2.
          Thanks [@mrshu](https://github.com/mrshu)
        - BIG rewrite of the parser, completely new architecture. This introduces
          breaking changes and some loss of functionality while we catch up.
          - In particular, matches now return partial matches to speed up parsing.
          - The `Delimited` matcher has had a significant re-write with a major
            speedup and broken the dependency on `Sequence`.
          - Rewrite of `StartsWith` and `Sequence` to use partial matches properly.
          - Different treatment of numeric literals.
          - Both `Bracketed` and `Delimited` respect bracket counting.
          - MASSIVE rewrite of `Bracketed`.
        - Grammars now have timers.
        - Joins properly parsing,
        - Rewrite of logging to selectively output commands at different levels
          of verbosity. This uses the `verbosity_logger` method.
        - Added a command line `sqlfluff parse` option which runs just the parsing step
          of the process to better understand how a file is being parsed. This also
          has options to configure how deep we recurse.
        - Complete Re-write of the rules section, implementing new `crawlers` which
          implement the linting rules. Now with inbuilt fixers in them.
        - Old rules removed and re implemented so we now have parity with the old rule sets.
        - Moved to using Ref mostly within the core grammar so that we can have recursion.
        - Used recursion to do a first implementation of arithmetic parsing. Including a test for it.
        - Moved the main grammar into a separate dialect and renamed source and test files accordingly.
        - Moved to file-based tests for the ansi dialect to make it easier to test using the tool directly.
        - As part of file tests - expected outcomes are now encoded in yaml to make it easier to write new tests.
        - Vastly improved readability and debugging potential of the \_match logging.
        - Added support for windows line endings in the lexer.
        
        ## [0.0.7] - 2018-11-19
        
        ### Added
        
        - Added a `sqlfluff fix` as a command to implement auto-fixing of linting
          errors. For now only `L001` is implemented as a rule that can fix things.
        - Added a `rules` command to introspect the available rules.
        - Updated the cli table function to use the `testwrap` library and also
          deal a lot better with longer values.
        - Added a `--rules` argument to most of the commands to allow rule users
          to focus their search on a specific subset of rules.
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Refactor the cli tests to use the click CliRunner. Much faster
        
        ## [0.0.6] - 2018-11-15
        
        ### Added
        
        - Number matching
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Fixed operator parsing and linting (including allowing the exception of `(*)`)
        
        ## [0.0.5] - 2018-11-15
        
        ### Added
        
        - Much better documentation including the DOCS.md
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Fixed comma parsing and linting
        
        ## [0.0.4] - 2018-11-14
        
        ### Added
        
        - Added operator regexes
        - Added a priority for matchers to resolve some ambiguity
        - Added tests for operator regexes
        - Added ability to initialise the memory in rules
        
        ## [0.0.3] - 2018-11-14
        
        ### Added
        
        - Refactor of rules to allow rules with memory
        - Adding comma linting rules (correcting the single character matchers)
        - Adding mixed indentation linting rules
        - Integration with CircleCI, CodeCov and lots of badges
        
        ### Changed
        
        - Changed import of version information to fix bug with importing config.ini
        - Added basic violations/file reporting for some verbosities
        - Refactor of rules to simplify definition
        - Refactor of color cli output to make it more reusable
        
        ## [0.0.2] - 2018-11-09
        
        ### Added
