Parser to parse Relational Algebras to T-Sql Codes and vice-versa

Question

I now think about write a parser to parse Logical Expressions Relational Algebra to T-Sql Codes and vice-versa! Whether there is an parser to do this? Otherwise how can i do this? What is the basics of writing a parser?

Answer 1

If you don't know the basics of parsing and translation, you need to spend significant energy there first or you will likely not succeed. (Sorry).

Answer 2

You would do well to look at LINQ expression trees (System.Linq.Expressions), and note that this (in the expression -> TSQL direction) is exactly what LINQ-to-SQL and similar tools do.

Expression trees are designed to be parsed in this manner; However for TSQL -> expression... that is going to be trickier since it is not a simple language, and was not designed for this deconstruction.
