If we want to save the SQL statement for some database objects(table, view,
etc.),
the backend will see the same problem. Here is an example. create table s(sno int, sname char(10)); select 1;
I recall that some DBMS will store the statement for table s like this: create table s(sno int, sname char(10));
We should also treat the comments.
