Parse SQL Query using java

Hi

user create some sql query. In query contains selected coloumns,and aggregate functions etc. I need to separate selected coloumn using java.

For Ex: SELECT EMP_NAME,EMP_NO,EMP_ADDRESS,EMP_RELION,EMP_PINCODE,EMP_MOBILE,
DECODE(EMP_NAME,'TEST', EMP_NAME,EMP_NAME) from EMP;

I am trying to parse query using StringTokenizer using "," separator but not parse in properly

How to do this. Can you give me a solution for this.

ZQL is an SQL parser for Java.

I think you need to break it apart a piece at a time. First, break apart the string bases on the SQL keywords (like "select", "from", "where" "group by", "sort by", etc). Once you have everything that is between "select" and "from", you should be able to pick that apart by the commas.

I bet at least one of the standard Java parser packages (Antlr, JavaCC, SableCC) comes with a predefined grammar for SQL.
