Does anybody know about good SQL parser with sources, written in Delphi? I need in parsing SQL commands (with all new features of Firebird 2.5) into object structure.
Read this article for Delphi SQL Parser, it uses IB as database but should not be very different between it and FB.
And there's an open source project called SQL Parser for Delphi but hasn't updated since 2005, but it may give you start up point.
2 other native Delphi SQL parsers:
Zeoslib seems to have an sql parser to parse Interbase, MySQL, Oracle, Postgres, SqLite and Sybase.
General SQL Parser (commercial)

I need to do make small database apps with DELPHI.
Can I do them without using any SQL servers ?
I ask that because I want to avoid SQL server installing in the target machine
Does DELPHI has a built in engine that can replace SQL server ?
Make use of FireDAC and SQLite
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE5/en/Connect_to_SQLite_database_(FireDAC)
SQLite works on any platform
https://www.sqlite.org/
For windows, you can use Firebird Embebded.
You only need copy some files in the application directory for use it.
Regards.
FireDAC has Local SQL feature. You can use in-memory database with TFDMemTables component which ships with newer versions of Delphi, or use TClientDataSet. Also google on embedded database with Delphi if you need a more powerful solution.

You can use a TClientDataSet component

Is there an official SQL standard? I.e. I want to understand what type of expression is supported by SQL language and how this expression evaluated by server? What documents are using for implementation SQL based databases?
There is an official SQL standard from the ISO/ANSI committee.
Some information can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sql
However the specification itself is not freely available. You might find some drafts of older specs in the internet if you search for it.
A nice explanation of the (yet a bit old) ANSI 99 standard is here: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/sql-99-complete-really/
Here is a compilation of at least the BNF syntax for various versions of the standard

Inspired by how much of an improvement the MDC Javascript/DOM docs are over W3Schools, I was looking for a similar wiki comparable to the W3Schools SQL documentation today. I haven't had much luck.
Is there a wiki documenting all the SQL commands with common-use examples, caveats, and vendor-dependent implementations?
The best documentation usually comes from the source itself. Which documentation you want depends on your RDBMS:
MS SQL Server Transact-SQL Reference or Index
PostgreSQL SQL Syntax
SQLite SQL Syntax with pretty railroad diagrams
MySQL SQL Syntax
Oracle SQL Reference
Edit: Based on your updated question, the answer is "What you want does not exist."
Based on your SQL Server tag, you might want to check out MSDN. Vendors usually maintain decent doc themselves (see MySQL and Oracle 10g)

I am looking for a free tool that will allow me to specify a SELECT statement on a table and then generate the result set as a series of INSERT statements to transfer to another database. I have the SQL Publishing Wizard, but that only allows me to generate statements for the entire table, and I can't specify a WHERE clause to filter the data it publishes. So far the only tool I have seen is made by Red Gate, which my employer only gives to DBA's. Are there any free tools out there that will let me do the same thing, without having to go and bug a DBA everytime I need to update some data in a database?
SSMS Tools Pack has a good collection of features, including generating insert statements. Works on MS SQL 2005 and beyond.
I've used this one in the past, I don't think its been updated recently:

For example DbVisualizer can be used to connect to a DB and create nice diagram out of existing tables and their relations. But in this specific case I do not have a live database but I have bunch of create table and alter statements.
Is there any tool to generate similar diagrams out of SQL DDL?
I found the MySQL tool MySQL Workbench to do a great job. There is a Mac OS X version. More information can be found at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/index-gui.html.
SQLFairy will generate graphics from plain SQL DDL files:
http://sqlfairy.sourceforge.net/
Visual Paradigm for UML can do this.
I believe that Embarcadero's ERStudio can import a SQL script into a diagram, but it's a pricey tool to use just for something like this. You could always just create an empty database and run the scripts then point to that.
