Building SELECT lists with SQL

If you are using SQL for ingestion and you want to rename columns

PascalCase to snake_case

-- PascalCase to snake_case
-- , OtherNFLStats AS other_nfl_stats

SELECT
    CONCAT(', ', column_name, ' AS ', LOWER(
      REGEXP_REPLACE(
        REGEXP_REPLACE(column_name, '([a-z0-9])([A-Z])', '$1_$2'), -- Pass 1: Lower to Upper
        '([A-Z])([A-Z][a-z])', '$1_$2'                             -- Pass 2: Acronym to Word
      )
    )) AS formatted_column
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE table_name = 'my_table'
    AND table_schema = 'my_schema'
ORDER BY ordinal_position;

PascalCase to snake_case with substitution
