The mysql-parser lexer still used the token names of the MySQL Workbench lexer it was ported from, such as OPEN_PAR_SYMBOL or INT_NUMBER. The AST nodes already use names from the MySQL grammar (sql_yacc.yy), so code that uses the parser had to mix two naming schemes.

This PR names all lexer tokens after the MySQL grammar:

• Tokens use their sql_yacc.yy names, such as IDENT, TEXT_STRING, NUM, or GT_SYM.
• Single-character tokens have no usable grammar name, so they are named after the character, such as LEFT_PAREN, COMMA, or ASTERISK.
• The end marker is YYEOF, as in the C code that Bison generates.
• SINGLE_QUOTED_TEXT and DOUBLE_QUOTED_TEXT were two names for one token, so they are now one TEXT_STRING.

Keywords are still looked up by their SQL spelling in WP_MySQL_Lexer::KEYWORDS. The README now explains how to refer to grammar rules, keywords, and other tokens.

The lexer now defaults to MySQL 8.4.10, the version of its grammar and query corpus. With the old 8.0.38 default, version comments like /*!80400 ... */ were skipped. Three corpus queries with six-digit version comments now parse too.

The PR also fixes a few leftovers:

• The grammar generators now use the MySQL tag of the fetched sources. Before, the build could write the old mysql-8.4.3 tag into the parse table header.
• The unused WP_MySQL_Lexer::get_token_id() is removed.
• The README no longer points to a token data file that doesn't exist.
• A read_quoted_text() call no longer passes an argument that the method ignores.

PARAM_MARKER, UNDERSCORE_CHARSET, and END_OF_INPUT keep their names.

API changes

The package isn't published yet, and the driver still uses its own lexer, so no released code is affected.

• Renamed token constants in WP_MySQL_Lexer (see the table above). get_name() returns the new names too, except for tokens with a keyword spelling, such as = for EQ or NULL for NULL_SYM.
• Removed WP_MySQL_Lexer::get_token_id().
• Changed the default mysql_version from 80038 to 80410.

Merge notes

• Experiment: Port MySQL-on-SQLite to LALR(1) parser #432 needs the new names when it's rebased.
• Fix BINARY and VARBINARY column defaults #596 merges without a Git conflict, but it adds four uses of NCHAR_TEXT and merges the two get_value() conditions into one. Whichever PR lands second must rename them to NCHAR_STRING and reformat the condition.

Follows up on #429.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Updates
  • The MySQL parser now defaults to MySQL 8.4.10 and uses MySQL grammar terminal names for its public tokens. Applications that use the previous token names or the removed token-ID lookup method may need updates.
• Documentation
  • Expanded guidance on token and AST naming, keyword handling, special terminals, token constants and IDs, and end markers. Added examples for querying descendant nodes and tokens.

Walkthrough

The MySQL parser lexer now exposes and emits grammar-named tokens. The token generators read the MySQL tag from a file, and the lexer’s default version and tests use MySQL 8.4.10. Token value handling, tests, and README documentation reflect the updated token names.

Changes: MySQL Lexer Token Naming

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Token generation and declarations packages/mysql-parser/tools/fetch-mysql-grammar.sh, packages/mysql-parser/tools/generate-tokens.php, packages/mysql-parser/tools/generate-parse-table.php, packages/mysql-parser/src/class-wp-mysql-lexer.php, packages/mysql-parser/README.md	The fetch script records the selected MySQL tag, which the generators read from a mysql-tag file. The lexer constants use grammar names while retaining their numeric values. The README updates the generation diagram and documents token and AST-node naming.
Scanner token emission and values packages/mysql-parser/src/class-wp-mysql-lexer.php, packages/mysql-parser/src/class-wp-mysql-token.php	Scanner paths use renamed constants for punctuation, operators, identifiers, strings, numbers, variables, and end markers. get_token_id() is removed. Token value handling recognizes TEXT_STRING and IDENT_QUOTED.
Token tests and corpus validation packages/mysql-parser/tests/WP_MySQL_*_Tests.php	Tests use the updated token names and MySQL version 8.4.10. They add national-string cases and check that token constants have distinct numbers. The server corpus test expects 167 failures instead of 170.

Minor · Handle NCHAR_STRING in WP_MySQL_Token::get_value(). · class-wp-mysql-token.php:58-82

packages/mysql-parser/src/class-wp-mysql-token.php:58-82
Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Handle NCHAR_STRING in WP_MySQL_Token::get_value().

The public lexer emits NCHAR_STRING for N'abc' and n'abc'. get_value() decodes only TEXT_STRING and IDENT_QUOTED, so callers receive the raw token bytes instead of abc.

The token range includes the N prefix. Strip that prefix before applying the existing quoted-value decoding. Adding only NCHAR_STRING to the condition would treat N as the opening quote.

Suggested fix

 		$value = $this->get_bytes();
-		if ( WP_MySQL_Lexer::TEXT_STRING === $this->id || WP_MySQL_Lexer::IDENT_QUOTED === $this->id ) {
+		if ( WP_MySQL_Lexer::NCHAR_STRING === $this->id ) {
+			$value = substr( $value, 1 );
+		}
+		if ( WP_MySQL_Lexer::TEXT_STRING === $this->id || WP_MySQL_Lexer::NCHAR_STRING === $this->id || WP_MySQL_Lexer::IDENT_QUOTED === $this->id ) {

Update WP_MySQL_Token::get_value() to handle NCHAR_STRING tokens by removing the
leading N/n prefix before the existing quoted-value decoding, so the quote is
treated as the delimiter and callers receive the unquoted string. Preserve the
current decoding behavior for TEXT_STRING and IDENT_QUOTED.
