ANTLR4 grammar for PowerBuilder and PowerBuilder DataWindow

Grammars

ANTLR4 grammars for PowerBuilder, DataWindow, MySql, and PostgreSQL grammars

PowerBuilder grammars

There are two versions of PB: (1) general and (2) grammar that supports comments extraction.

To generate parser and lexer for PB no support for comment run: gradle generatePb

To generate parser and lexer for PB that supports comment run: gradle generatePbWithComment

To test all run: gradle testPb

To test all run: gradle testPbWithComments

Change History

• Add a grammar that parse comments
• Fixed the ambiguous HEADER. Put it into the hidden channel
• Fixed the function call statement that should accept argument types (string literal, primitive data types)
• Simplify the grammar. Boolean expression is a expression, not the other way around like the implemetation of the version 3 and the ported version. The generated parse tree should be shorter and clean.
• Add different types of function calls
• Add more test files to unit test
• Add support for embedded SQL
• Add try-catch
• Add comments

DataWindow

To generate parser and lexer run: gradle generatePostgres

Tested against 120 DataWindow files.

Test files are from this project

MySql

To generate parser and lexer run: gradle generateMySql

To test all run: gradle testMySql

#Change history

• Support mix case. No need to use ChangeCase any more
• Add BIND_VAR to handle plSql :<variable_name>
• Test against more 100 Sql files
• Resolve the expression issue with minus minus condition #1525 (antlr/grammars-v4#1525)

PostgreSQL

To generate parser and lexer run: gradle generatePostgres

To test all run: gradle testPostgres

Change history

• A modified version from the ANTLR4 repo, which should be language agnostic
• Replace all recursive rules with iterative rules (list: list item => item+) => reduce the parsetree size
• Replace or epsilon rules with optional => remove all the empty node on the parse tree
• Add a base class for the Lexer per kaby76
