Google has made an announcement regarding the renaming of the ZetaSQL SQL analyzer to GoogleSQL. The project focuses on developing tools for parsing and analyzing various aspects of the SQL language as well as the GoogleSQL dialect. This dialect is known for its unique feature of combining queries using unnamed pipes, which is utilized in several Google products and services such as BigQuery, Spanner, F1, BigTable, Dremel, and Procella. The project’s code is primarily written in C++ and is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license. More information about the GoogleSQL dialect can be found here.
The decision to rename ZetaSQL to GoogleSQL stems from the desire to consolidate the names of the SQL dialect and associated libraries developed at Google under a single brand. This move is expected to minimize confusion and facilitate easier access to resources related to GoogleSQL technology. The ZetaSQL open source repository will continue to be maintained by the same team but will now be identified as GoogleSQL.
