Rick:
thank you for your patience and continuing support on this issue.
(1) Even prior to your email, I grepped for StopAfterParsing and found the
code you are referring to in GenericStatement.java.
I am not too keen on going that route, since that would require rebuilding
Derby and I would rather not temper with prod-quality code.
(2) I have downloaded that PlSql.jj and ran javacc on it. It generated a
bunch of java files and with a small change to the main, I got it to
report:
Tables in "select (select 1 from dual), a.string, b.string from a, b where
exists (select * from c where c.id = a.id);":
A
B
C
DUAL
This is what I am looking for.
(3) My application is Derby powered. The app is relying on Derby's
in-memory tables for internal data exchange and NetworkServerController to
monitor these tables from the outside
of the application. However, just as you properly assumed, parts of my
application need to analyze dependencies. So, a portion of the application
(with a configured select) may depend on other
components (whose data may be accessed by the configured select). So,
while making that dependency analysis, I would need to get a list of all
the tables referenced in the select.
So far I have done a regex search for the word where and then had to do
some hacky parsing thereafter. But I don't like that approach. Besides, in
the current form it wouldn't be able to
handle more complex, nested statements (as the one above that I've tested
PlSql.jj with).
(4) Off this particular topic. While looking through Derby's code I
discovered to my amazement that Derby is using OSGi (Apache Felix). Can
you please take a moment and enlighten me
a little on what it is used for? The reason why I am asking is that I am
using already a lot of Apache code (CLI, CODEC, DBCP, POOL) besides
extensive use of Derby. But now I am keenly interested in refactoring my
application to use OSGi. I have been looking at two alternatives - Spring
and Felix and I've been leaning towards Felix. Seeing that Derby is using
it as well makes me even more inclined
to proceed in that direction.
Thanks,
Pavel.

This sounds like a frustrating approach too. If you are willing to hack
the Derby code and create your owned forked version, then I would
recommend going into GenericStatement.java and hacking the prepMinion()
method so that you can control the short-circuiting yourself. Look for
the string StopAfterParsing.

I have never looked at those grammars so I can't advise you here. This
approach also will be peppered with frustrations if what you want to
achieve is a Derby-powered app which performs some extra dependency
tracking. Since the javacc-supplied grammars aren't the Derby grammar,
statements which parse in one grammar may not parse in the other.
So let's step back for a moment. What do you need to achieve here:
o Are you writing a Derby-powered app or just trying to use the Derby
parser against statements which actually run in some other database?
o If this is a Derby-powered app, do you need to track the dependencies
before the statement is executed?
Thanks,
-Rick
