Description
Hello,
a project of the company I am working for, requires a high performance SQL parser such as this one. However, we would mainly require the [Exasol](https://www.exasol.com/) syntax (which is a lot like Oracle syntax) and we may also need DB2 (z/OS and LUW) syntax.
We are considering and willing to implement the needed syntax and would love to officially contribute that syntax here and share it with the community. But before we start working on it, we have to check our internal policies, whether we are allowed to do so or not. Furthermore, we would like to ask you as well for your opinion on this, since Exasol is not a very popular or widespread RDBMS and the readme specifically states the following:
> The most commonly accepted PRs add support for ... a **popular** RDBMS ... will likely be accepted after a brief review.
We want to make sure, that our contribution would be be accepted and supported (being reviewed) by the responsible contributors of this project (of course only if it meets all the standards and contribution guidelines).
I am looking forward to a hopefully positive reply!

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reading the README's syntax-support and contribution guidance, then review how dialects are currently represented before discussing Exasol and DB2 scope with maintainers. Done requires an agreed scope and accepted implementation plan, not just a parser change.
