Using MySQL parser separately

Hello!
I'am working on bachelor thesis and I neet do parse incoming SQL queries. Writing SQL parser is a long term task and it will never exactly reflect the logic used in native parser.
I found out that MySQL has a lexical analyzer with main source file sql/sql_lex.cc and a syntax analyzer built with bison from sql/sql_yacc.y. I am really interested in reuse of these robust solutions.

I was wondering if It is possible to reuse the MySQL parser (lexical+syntax analyzer) to get the structure of SQL query in some logical form e.g. syntactic tree. Would it be possible? are there some related text, tutorials or projects?

Thanks
