We have been utilizing ANTLR for various needs for quite some time. Many thanks 
for a great product. We are looking to utilize it for an SQLish language. I had 
a few questions:

a) is it very difficult to express SQL kind of grammar in LL(*) form, or are 
you already aware of any attempts to do so?

b) with the above how would it perform with respect to bison. Something in the 
ballpark of 2X slow down is acceptable to us since, our queries never go beyond 
2000 bytes.

we currently utilize Bison and are figuring out the features/performance 
tradeoff... i understand that the main slow down in the parser comes from 
backtracking which if the grammar is expressed in LL(k) form it should have 
less need to do...

Greatly appreciate any help, once again thanks for a great product..
