I think that it would be enough to check for expected
keywords/identifier/stuff whether the syntax error reported make sense.
Basically the parser reports the first found inconsistency.

1. CREAT TABLE foo (x int);
2. CREATE TABL foo (x int);
3. CREATER TABLE foo (x int); -- same as 1
4. CREATE TABLES foo (x int); -- same as 2
5. CREATE CREATE TABLE foo (x int); -- hmmm.
6. CREATE TABLE foo [x int);
7. CREATE TABLE foo (x int];
8. CREATE TABLE foo [x int]; -- same as 6 & 7
9. CREATE TABLE (x int);
A. CREATE foo (x int); -- same as 2

This level of testing can be more or less linear in the number of token.
