You give it textual SQL (+ schema + all your function definitions) and it returns a really clean logical query plan. It is also happy to do this via a protobufs so you can use it from languages other than C++. It is also tested and documented up the wazoo. It has been such a pleasure to work with.
Anyway, the big problem with ZetaSQL is that it is not a common SQL dialect.
It seems that the only reasonable way to do this PostgreSQL interface for Cloud Spanner is to add a second parser (and other extensions) to ZetaSQL. If I am correct, I really really hope they open source that part of ZetaSQL as well - it would be a massive step forward for open source SQL tooling.
It is amazingly good.
