Extracting value between two "anchors"?

Question

SQL

Hello veterans of the regex wars, is there a way to extract values ​​by two conditional "anchors" using a regular expression. But if there are ideas on how to read SQL statements from a file in a node differently, without using regular expressions, I will wait for ideas.

The very source of trouble

-- START
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS feather_store_dev;
-- END

-- START
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS feather_store_dev.accounts (
    id int,
    email varchar(25),
    bio varchar(18),
    password varchar(32),
    PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
-- END
