Re: [dtp-sqldevtools-dev] Problem parsing SQL generated using SQL Build

[Artem Portnoy <artem.portnoy.ibi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Brian,

Yes, the query was generated using the SQL Query Buider which is why I think it's a real issue. We are trying to incorporate SQL Query Builder in one of our wizards and we'd like to be able to parse the query after it's been created by the user using the SQL Query Builder. Currently we have to clean up the query after it's been created by stripping off the ` (backtick) characters before passing it to SQL Query Parser. I find it really strange that two tools (SQL Query Builder and SQL Parser) existing in the same project (DTP) would not properly work with each other.

Regards,
Artem

Hi Artem,

Was the query generated by the SQL Query Builder?  What SQL dialect are you using?  The syntax rules used by the SQL Builder and the SQL Query Parser are fairly generic.  According to the ISO SQL standard, delimited identifiers such as 'test' should be surrounded by double-quote characters.  So
SELECT ID AS ID_NEW, NAME AS NAME_NEW FROM "test".EMPLOYEES should parse OK.

Hi,

I'm using SQLQueryParserManager to parse a select statement that was generated using DTP's SQL Builder. I'm getting the following error when I parse

org.eclipse.datatools.sqltools.parsers.sql.SQLParserException: Unable to parse the input: "SELECT ID AS ID_NEW, NAME AS NAME_NEW FROM `test`.EMPLOYEES;".

I believe the problem is caused by the presence of backticks in the statement. The error goes away when I remove the backtick characters, which is the workaround I'm currently using. This does seem to be a problem since usage of backticks is valid in SQL.
