# simple-sql-parser
A parser for SQL in Haskell. Also includes a pretty printer which
formats output nicely. Current target is to parse most SQL:2011
queries, plus a good subset of DDL, non-query DML, transaction
management, access control and session management.
This is the documentation for version 0.5.0.
Status: Covers a lot of queries already, but the public API is
probably not very stable, since adding support for all the
not-yet-supported ANSI SQL syntax, then other dialects of SQL is
likely to change the abstract syntax types considerably.
Tested with GHC 7.10.2, 7.8.4 and 7.6.3.

See the [supported_sql.html](supported_sql.html) page for details on
the supported SQL.
Here is a document with all the [simple-sql-parser test
cases](test_cases.html) rendered in a webpage so you can get an idea
of what it supports.
# Installation
Installing the latest release from Hackage.
~~~~
cabal update && cabal install simple-sql-parser
~~~~
Working with the latest development version:
~~~~
git clone https://github.com/JakeWheat/simple-sql-parser.git
cd simple-sql-parser
cabal sandbox init
cabal install --only-dependencies
cabal build
~~~~
## Running the tests
Get the source using 'cabal unpack' or 'git clone', then change to the
source directory.
You can run the tests using cabal:
~~~~
cabal sandbox init
cabal install --only-dependencies --enable-tests
cabal configure --enable-tests
cabal test
~~~~
Or you can run them directly which gives more options. The tests use
tasty, which provides the command line options.
~~~~
cabal sandbox init
cabal install --only-dependencies --enable-tests
cabal configure --enable-tests
cabal build
dist/build/Tests/Tests
~~~~
--hide-successes is a good option to use:
~~~~
dist/build/Tests/Tests --hide-successes
~~~~

# Recommended reading
Here is some recommended reading on understanding SQL in depth.
\
\
\
SQL: The Complete Reference, 3rd Edition, James R. Groff, Paul
N. Weinberg, Andrew J. Oppel
This is a comprehensive book which covers up to the SQL:1999 standard.
\
\
\
SQL in a Nutshell, Kevin Kline, Brand Hunt, Daniel Kline
This is another good book which covers some of the SQL:2003 and
SQL:2008 standards. This means it covers a few newer things like
window functions which 'SQL: The Complete Reference' doesn't. It also
compares some main SQL product dialects.
\
\
\
SQL A Comparative Survey, Hugh Darwen
http://bookboon.com/en/sql-a-comparative-survey-ebook
This is a book about SQL from a relational theory perspective.
\
\
\
SQL and Relational Theory, 2nd Edition, Chris Date
This also covers SQL from a partly theoretical perspective.
\
\
\
A Guide to the SQL Standard, C. J. Date, Hugh Darwen
This is a fantastic book for covering all the little details of the
SQL standard in depth. It only covers up to SQL:92.
\
\
\
There are several other good books by Chris Date, some with Hugh
Darwen and others, for instance 'Introduction to Database Systems',
'Temporal Data & the Relational Model, Databases', 'Types and the
Relational Model'. Only the first one (Introduction to
Database Systems) really relates to SQL.
\
\
\
Database Systems: The Complete Book, Hector Garcia-Molina, Jeff Ullman, and Jennifer Widom.
This book is very comprehensive and has some interesting sections.
\
\
\
Some of the SQL draft standards are available to download for free (follow the
links on the wikipedia page for SQL). They are a little tricky to
read and understand.
