Hi List, The new SQL parser is functional now, and very capable as well as fast. Again I am looking for hints and ideas about PHP3 incompatibilites if there are any in my code (I'm not sure). http://games.techbc.ca/~robbat2/sqlparse.php If there is some long and convoluted but still valid query that you want me to test my code on, please send it my way. Check out the LARGE_* query tests before you do though. I'd like suggestions on how to make it even faster on the huge query sets, like the SQL_MS_SQL* tests that I have in the test harness. The current code now uses absoltely NO Regex or PCRE functions, and does nearly everything via strings with a few arrays. I'd also like suggestions on what we want the indenting to look like, so that I can code it in as well. Any specific preferences? The only thing that remains in my code is more SQL validator, which is mainly for the structure, like missing brackets/quotes etc. I don't think I will do validation of the keywords or number of function arguments. -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : robbat2@orbis-terrarum.net Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639
