Re: [BangPypers] Query generation engine/library
Yeah that was my fallback option. Was just checking if there is something more sophisticated. Looks like I will have to combine parsing with something like spark or some other code generation engine. -- Vinayak On Tue, Mar 9, 2010 at 7:24 PM, Baishampayan Ghose b.gh...@gmail.com wrote: I am looking for a a way to generate optimised queries in SQL (or SQL-like languages like Hadoop Pig) by chaining clauses such as where, group by, order by etc based on a set of (optimising) rules. Is there any such library in python which would let me do that. Example approach would be create a query object and then use some inbuilt method to generate the actual query before executing it. I will probably have to change whatever alternatives are so a good starting point would be helpful.

You can take a look at LyX - http://www.lyx.org/. It's a document processor that uses LaTeX in the background.

There are some plugins for mediawiki which can help you convert to PDF but the output would not be as good as Latex. -- Vinayak ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
