Using Appendix G of "SQL:1999 Understanding Relational Language Components" by J Melton and A R Simon (Morgan Kaufmann, May 2001, ISBN 0-55860-456-1) as the primary source of the syntax, here is the BNF syntax for SQL-99. The Word 97 version of this document is available from: http://www.mkp.com/books_catalog/catalog.asp?ISBN=1-55860-456-1 .
Note that this version of this file includes the corrections from ISO 9075:1999/Cor.1:2000.
The plain text version of this grammar is sql-99.bnf .
This material (starting with <SQL object identifier>) is defined in section 6.3 "Object Identifier for Database Language SQL" of ISO/IEC 9075-1:1999 (SQL Framework). It is used to express the capabilities of an implementation. The package names are identifiers such as 'PKG001', equivalent to 'Enhanced datetime facilities', as defined in the informative Annex B to SQL Framework. Each such package identifies a number of features that are provided when the SQL object identifier claims to provide the package.
<SQL object identifier> ::= <SQL provenance> <SQL variant>
<SQL provenance> ::= <arc1> <arc2> <arc3>
<arc1> ::= iso | 1 | iso <left paren> 1 <right paren>
<arc2> ::= standard | 0 | standard <left paren> 0 <right paren>

<parts> ::= <Part 3> <Part 4> <Part 5> <Part 6> <Part 7> <Part 8> <Part 9> <Part 10>
The parenthesized (i) and (n) are italic in the SQL standard. It is not clear exactly what this should look like, despite all the information. However, it is also not important; this is not really a part of the SQL language per se. Note that the package numbers are PKG001 to PKG009, for example. We still have to devise a mechanism to persuade bnf2yacc.pl to ignore this information.
<packages> ::= <Package PKG (i)> ...
<Part (n)> ::= <Part (n) no > | <Part (n) yes >
<Part (n) no> ::= 0 | Part -(n)No <left paren> 0 <right paren>
<Part (n) yes> ::= !! (as specified in ISO/IEC 9075-(n))
<Package PKG(i)> ::= <Package PKG (i)Yes> | <Package PKG (i)No>
<Part 3 yes> ::= <Part 3 conformance>
<Part 3 conformance> ::= 3 | sqlcli1999 <left paren> 3 <right paren>

<Part 4 module yes> ::= 1 | moduleyes <left paren> 1 <right paren>
<Part 4 module no> ::= 0 | moduleno <left paren> 0 <right paren>
<Part 5 yes> ::= <Part 5 conformance> <Part 5 direct> <Part 5 embedded>
The original used sqlbindings199x, but the x should clearly be a 9.

<Part 5 direct> ::= <Part 5 direct yes> | <Part 5 direct no>
<Part 5 direct yes> ::= 1 | directyes <left paren> 1 <right paren>

<Part 5 embedded PL/I> ::= 7 | embeddedPLI <left paren> 7 <right paren>
Most of this section would normally be handled within the lexical analyzer rather than in the grammar proper. Further, the original document does not quote the various single characters, which makes it hard to process automatically.
<SQL terminal character> ::= <SQL language character>

<identifier body> modified per ISO 9075:1999/Cor.1:2000(E).
<identifier body> also rationalized by removing curly brackets around <identifier part> because they are unnecessary and inconsistent with other places where '...' modifies a single non-terminal.
<identifier body> ::= <identifier start> [ <identifier part> ... ]
<identifier start> ::= <initial alphabetic character> | <ideographic character>
<initial alphabetic character> ::= !! (See the Syntax Rules)

Note that the two successive double quote characters must have no other character (such as a space) between them. The lexical analyzer would normally deal with this sort of issue.

<left bracket or trigraph> ::= <left bracket> | <left bracket trigraph>
The trigraphs are strictly sequences of characters, not sequences of tokens. There may not be any spaces between the characters. Normally, the lexical analyzer would return the trigraphs as a simple symbol.
<left bracket trigraph> ::= <question mark> <question mark> <left paren>
<right bracket or trigraph> ::= <right bracket> | <right bracket trigraph>
<right bracket trigraph> ::= <question mark> <question mark> <right paren>

[ { <separator> <quote> [ <character representation> ... ] <quote> }... ]
<character representation> ::= <nonquote character> | <quote symbol>
<nonquote character> ::= !! (See the Syntax Rules.)
The <quote symbol> rule consists of two immediately adjacent <quote> marks with no spaces. As usual, this would be best handled in the lexical analyzer, not in the grammar.
<quote symbol> ::= <quote> <quote>
<separator> ::= { <comment> | <white space> }...
<comment> ::= <simple comment> | <bracketed comment>
<simple comment> ::= <simple comment introducer> [ <comment character> ... ] <newline>
<simple comment introducer> ::= <minus sign> <minus sign> [ <minus sign> ... ]
<comment character> ::= <nonquote character> | <quote>
<newline> ::= !! (See the Syntax Rules)
The <bracketed comment> rule included '!! (See the Syntax Rules)'. This probably says something about the <slash> <asterisk> and <asterisk> <slash> needing to be adjacent characters rather than adjacent tokens.
<bracketed comment> ::=
<bracketed comment introducer> <bracketed comment contents> <bracketed comment terminator>
<bracketed comment introducer> ::= <slash> <asterisk>
<bracketed comment contents> ::= [ { <comment character> | <separator> }... ]

The <not equals>, <less than or equals operator> and <greater than or equals operator> should be handled by the lexical analyzer as token symbols, not by the grammar. As usual, spaces are not allowed between the two characters.

These regular expressions are not referenced anywhere else in the document, but define the structure that the <character value expression> used in <similar pattern> must have. Structurally, these regular expressions are similar to 'egrep' expressions, except they use underscore in place of dot, and percent is equivalent to dot star in 'egrep'. The other omission is the use of caret (aka circumflex) to mark the start of the matched text and dollar to mark the end of the matched text.

Automatic translation of this grammar is non-trivial for a number of reasons. One is that the grammar has a number of actions '!! (See the Syntax Rules.)' which cannot be translated automatically. Another is that the grammar contains rules that are usually better handled by the lexical analyzer than the grammar proper. Then there are incomplete rules such as those which reference parts 6 to 10 (they are not defined; indeed, part 7, which was going to be SQL/Temporal, is in complete abeyance), and the packages (almost completely undefined in the grammar). It is not clear whether these can be ignored, or annotated out of the way.
Another complication is automatically generating rules to deal with optional components and repetitive components in the grammar. Square brackets do not contain alternative non-terminals; all those expressions are contained within curly brackets within the square brackets. However, some square brackets do contain alternative terminals. Curly brackets contain and group mandatory elements. However, they are usually used in conjunction with the 'one or more times' repeater ellipsis '...' mark.
