I would use the existing parser if my program were written in C, but it's not. I will look at it as a reference when writing the BNF though.
Through my search I could see that this is not the first time that this question has been asked. So, once I'm done I will provide you all with the file. -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Cote [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 05, 2007 10:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [sqlite] BNF for sqlite3?

There is already a complete freely available open source parser for the SQL that SQLite accepts in the SQLite source. It is a C language parser generated by the lemon parser generator (also included in SQLite). You may be able to use that directly, or model your parser on it. If you build your own, be aware that the language does change from time to time.
