Description
It is often useful to be able to generate SQL from the AST. This opens up possibilities for SQL manipulation or translation. The write should recursively walk the AST and write SQL to a writer / output stream.
A secondary benefit of having a writer is that it often simplifies writing unit tests for the parser, since a SQL statement can be parsed and re-written and then the output can be compared with the input (ignoring whitespace differences)

Research direction
No file or test path is named. Start by locating the AST definitions and parser entry points, then inspect existing parser unit tests. Done means recursively writing the parsed AST as SQL through a writer or output stream, with round-trip tests comparing parsed and rewritten statements while ignoring whitespace differences.
