Could you build this?

No Implementing a fully compliant SQLite grammar parser in pure C requires deep compiler theory and mastery of SQLite's extensive, idiosyncratically complex SQL dialect.

What it would actually take: Building a complete SQLite parser requires hand-writing a recursive descent parser or developing a deterministic LALR parser (like Lemon/Bison) adhering strictly to SQLite's dialect specifications. It involves managing an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) in C with manual memory allocation, robust syntax error recovery, and extensive test suites matching the SQLite official test harness. This demands specialized systems programming skills and deep formal language/compiler expertise.
