SQL was standardized before there was consensus on sane language syntax constructs had evolved. The language is mostly case-insensitive, with unquoted text converted to upper case. Identifiers can include lower case characters and other 'special' characters by enclosing the identifier with double quotes. A double quote is escaped by doubling it. Likewise, a single quote in a literal string is escaped by doubling it. All this means that the strategy used in the lexer, where a token's value is a StringView 'window' on the source string, does not work, because the value needs to be massaged before being handed to the parser. Therefore a token now has a String containing its value. Given the limited lifetime of a token, this is acceptable overhead. Not doing this means that for example quote removal and double quote escaping would need to be done in the parser or in AST node construction, which would spread lexing basically all over the place. Which would be suboptimal. There was some impact on the sql utility and SyntaxHighlighter component which was addressed by storing the token's end position together with the start position in order to properly highlight it. Finally, reviewing the tests for parsing numeric literals revealed an inconsistency in which tokens we accept or reject: `1a` is accepted but `1e` is rejected. Related to this is the fate of `0x`. Added a FIXME reminding us to address this. |
