FoundationDB SQL Parser

Overview

The FoundationDB SQL Parser is a complete, production-quality Java parser for the SQL language. It defines the SQL grammar as implemented by the FoundationDB SQL Layer but can be used independently. It is derived from the Apache Derby parser.

Building From Source

Maven is used to build, test and deploy.

Run tests, build jars and copy to local Maven repository:

$ mvn install

Generate the documentation:

$ mvn javadoc:javadoc

The resulting HTML files are in target/site/apidocs/.

Using From Maven

The SQL Parser is in the standard Maven Central repository. Any Maven based project can use it directly by adding the appropriate entries to the dependencies section of its pom.xml file:

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.foundationdb</groupId>
    <artifactId>fdb-sql-parser</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.0</version>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

Using From Binaries

Packaged jars can be downloaded directly from the Releases page and extracted using tar or unzip.

Working With The SQL Parser

A simple example:

import com.foundationdb.sql.parser.SQLParser;
import com.foundationdb.sql.parser.StatementNode;

public class ParserHello {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        SQLParser parser = new SQLParser();
        for(String s : args) {
            StatementNode stmt = parser.parseStatement(s);
            stmt.treePrint();
        }
    }
}

A new SQLParser is instantiated and each command line argument is parsed and printed to standard output. The result is a debug dump of all nodes in the underlying Abstract Syntax Tree. More advanced usages will generally parse a statement and then pass a custom Visitor to the accept() method.

To try the example from the command line, copy the code into a file named ParserHello.java. Then compile and run it, making sure to include the parser in the classpath.

Compile:

$ javac -cp fdb-sql-parser-1.5.0.jar ParserHello.java

Run (output trimmed):

$ javac -cp fdb-sql-parser-1.5.0.jar:. ParserHello "SELECT a FROM b"
com.foundationdb.sql.parser.CursorNode@5889dee2
statementType: SELECT
resultSet:
    com.foundationdb.sql.parser.SelectNode@4387f4d7
    resultColumns:
        [0]:
        com.foundationdb.sql.parser.ResultColumn@5123968
        name: a
        expression:
            com.foundationdb.sql.parser.ColumnReference@6f76dd71
            columnName: a
    fromList:
        [0]:
        com.foundationdb.sql.parser.FromBaseTable@18317b1d
        tableName: b
