This pull request updates the SQL grammar to improve how expressions are parsed, particularly by refining the lookahead rules for certain grammar productions. The main focus is on enhancing the handling of mathematical expressions and parenthesized where clauses.

Grammar parsing improvements:

  • Updated the Expression rule in SQLGrammar.jjt to use a more precise lookahead for parenthesized WhereClause expressions, replacing a generic three-token lookahead with a specific pattern.
  • Added lookahead for MathExpression in both the Expression and ArrayConcatExpressionElement rules, allowing mathematical expressions to be parsed correctly in these contexts. [1] [2]

Summary of Changes

Hello @robfrank, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request refines the SQL grammar's parsing logic, primarily focusing on improving the recognition and handling of mathematical expressions and parenthesized WHERE clauses. By introducing more specific lookahead rules, the changes aim to enhance the robustness and accuracy of the parser for these common SQL constructs.

Highlights

  • Refined WhereClause Parsing: The Expression rule's lookahead for parenthesized WhereClause expressions has been updated from a generic LOOKAHEAD(3) to a more precise LOOKAHEAD( <LPAREN> WhereClause() <RPAREN> ), improving parsing accuracy.
  • Enhanced MathExpression Handling: Specific lookahead rules for MathExpression have been added to both the Expression and ArrayConcatExpressionElement grammar productions, ensuring correct parsing of mathematical expressions in these contexts.

Code Review

This pull request improves the SQL grammar by refining lookahead rules, which enhances the parser's ability to correctly handle mathematical and parenthesized expressions. The change from a numeric lookahead (LOOKAHEAD(3)) to a semantic lookahead (LOOKAHEAD( <LPAREN> WhereClause() <RPAREN> )) for parenthesized WhereClause is a significant improvement in robustness. Additionally, adding LOOKAHEAD(MathExpression()) in the Expression and ArrayConcatExpressionElement rules correctly resolves ambiguities, making the grammar more precise. The changes are well-implemented and address the described problem effectively. I have reviewed the changes and found no issues.
