Description

The current sqlvet requires full parsing of the entire main package(s), so it becomes pretty slow for a large codebase. There's conveniently an article about using "go vet"'s analysis.Analyzer framework to detect SQL statements:

Does it make sense to rewrite sqlvet using it? I can try my hand over the holidays if you think it's a good idea.

Research direction

Start by reading the current sqlvet implementation to understand how it parses entire main packages, then review the linked article about Go vet's analysis.Analyzer framework. Determine whether the analyzer approach can preserve SQL detection while avoiding full-package parsing; done means an agreed rewrite scope and evidence that large codebases are handled more efficiently.
