Hi all I am new to Marpa, so I may be trying to chew too much, but my question is of general nature. I am interested ultimately in parsing SQL (not running it, just parsing into structures that I could than analyze.) So I wrote a simple program that strip the SQL 2003 BNF file (http://savage.net.au/SQL/sql-2003-2.bnf) from irrelevant data and try to feed it to Marpa as is.
In the BNF I have clauses like this: <percent> ::= % which I already figured out I need to change to something like <percent> ::= '%' My issue is the infamous clauses: <space> ::= or worse <quote> ::= ' Could somebody tell me please how should I deal with those note that <space> ::= ' ' and <quote> ::= ''' or <quote> ::= '''' do not work BTW, if anybody already did a full featured (not specific dialect) SQL parser (SQL::Statement is a relatively incomplete subset) or knows about such one, please let me know. Also, I am looking for dialect specific full BNF files if available Thanks all ZA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "marpa parser" group.
