simple-sql-parser/Language/SQL/SimpleSQL/Lex.hs

{-
The parser uses a separate lexer for two reasons:

1. sql syntax is very awkward to parse, the separate lexer makes it
easier to handle this in most places (in some places it makes it
harder or impossible, the fix is to switch to something better than
parsec)

2. using a separate lexer gives a huge speed boost because it reduces
backtracking. (We could get this by making the parsing code a lot more
complex also.)

3. we can test the lexer relatively exhaustively, then even when we
don't do nearly as comprehensive testing on the syntax level, we still
have a relatively high assurance of the low level of bugs. This is
much more difficult to get parity with when testing the syntax parser
directly without the separately testing lexing stage.

TODO:

make the tokenswill print more dialect accurate. Maybe add symbol
  chars and identifier chars to the dialect definition and use them from
  here

start adding negative / different parse dialect tests

add token tables and tests for oracle, sql server
review existing tables

look for refactoring opportunities, especially the token
generation tables in the tests

do some user documentation on lexing, and lexing/dialects

start thinking about a more separated design for the dialect handling

lexing tests are starting to take a really long time, so split the
tests so it is much easier to run all the tests except the lexing
tests which only need to be run when working on the lexer (which
should be relatively uncommon), or doing a commit or finishing off a
series of commits,

start writing the error message tests:
  generate/write a large number of syntax errors
  create a table with the source and the error message
  try to compare some different versions of code to compare the
    quality of the error messages by hand

  get this checked in so improvements and regressions in the error
    message quality can be tracked a little more easily (although it will
    still be manual)

try again to add annotation to the ast

An operator name is a sequence of up to NAMEDATALEN-1 (63 by default) characters from the following list:

A multiple-character operator name cannot end in + or -, unless the name also contains at least one of these characters:

{-
This utility function will accurately report if the two tokens are
pretty printed, if they should lex back to the same two tokens. This
function is used in testing (and can be used in other places), and
must not be implemented by actually trying to print both tokens and
then lex them back from a single string (because then we would have
the risk of thinking two tokens cannot be together when there is bug
in the lexer, which the testing is supposed to find).

maybe do some quick checking to make sure this function only gives
true negatives: check pairs which return false actually fail to lex or
give different symbols in return: could use quickcheck for this

a good sanity test for this function is to change it to always return
true, then check that the automated tests return the same number of
successes. I don't think it succeeds this test at the moment
