As I understand it, the pre-parser that will be part of DBI will be very limited in scope and will not parse SQL. Essentially it will just handle things like comments, escaping of quotes within quoted values, and placeholders but won't know anything about SQL syntax itself. Those also seem like the kinds of things the other Jeff is talking about for DBD::Pg. SQL::Parser and SQL::Statement do actual SQL parsing, a different kettle of fish. If I'm wrong and DBD::Pg needs some kind of SQL parsing on its own (though I can't see why it should since Pg can do that by itself), then, by all means, let's talk about what SQL::Statement already does. -- Jeff
