SQL statement parsing

Hi folks,

In case the SQL statement is not written properly, we sometimes get strange
messages. The 2 following statements are simple inversion between order by
and group by clause. We get an "advice" about expected from or from_clause,
why ?

db2 select workdept, count(*) from employee order by 1 group by workdept
SQL0104N An unexpected token "select workdept, count(*) from employ" was
found following "BEGIN-OF-STATEMENT". Expected tokens may include:
"<from_clause>" . SQLSTATE=42601

db2 select workdept, count(*) from employee order by workdept group by
workdept
SQL0104N An unexpected token "select workdept, count(*) from employee orde"
was found following "BEGIN-OF-STATEMENT". Expected tokens may include:
"<from>". SQLSTATE=42601

The GROUP BY clause has to come before the ORDER BY.
So the -104 (syntaxerror) is expected (the tokens are not terribly
useful I admit)

Hei, I'm currently trying to write a program in C# that will allow users to parametrize their queries. For instance, I have a query like this: SELECT * FROM Customers Where Region = @Region AND Gender > @Gender How can I extract the Parameters names without using String manipulation (which is not perfect since sql statements can also contain '@' in LIKE clauses for example)

Does anyone know of a good function that will parse out parts of an SQL statement that is passed to it in seperate variables? It should be able to parse statements that contain ORDERBY, WHERE, GROUP, etc. Thank you, Brian

Hi, I am reading the ECMAScript specs trying to figure out if the next line is a legal statement or not new Foo(); I think the above code may only be legal as an expression and not as a stand alone statement. Would this make the above a bug?

Trying to run a simple query on my dataset the SQL statement looks like this: select * from person where id in (@p) When using more than one id in the "in statement", I get nothing! Using Visual Studio interface, there is the Execute Query button in Query Builder. Here I can set @p = 1, and the test execute returns the row where id = 1.. and I can do the same for @p = 2.

According to the spec Section 14 the production SourceElements:SourceElements SourceElement is evaluated as follows: 1. Evaluate SourceElements. 2. If Result(1) is an abrupt completion, return Result(1) 3. Evaluate SourceElement. 4. Return Result(3). If I understood correctly the following program should alert 'undefined': alert(eval('3;;'));
