Thanks for listening
Harald
The only thing more difficult I see in their build instructions is to
download dependency
libs. I have no idea whether JavaCC has these dependencies, or if
JavaCC needs them
independently of JavaCC, but it doesn't matter much since I don't think
anybody is
advocating that we use JavaCC. We should look at the library
dependencies for the
products we are considering using, not some other product.
I don't disagree with the rest of what you say wrt the primary HSQLDB
parser.
This does not necessarily apply to a parser for PL/SQL which needs to handle
variables and could hand off globs of the plain SQL (perhaps some
pre-processed)
to the primary HSQLDB parser (or a superclass/subclass/something-similar).
