Hi,

I would like to know if extension point
org.eclipse.datatools.sqltools.parsers.sql.query.vendorExten sion is used
in some examples or is intended to be used in enablement for vendor
specific sql syntax for next DTP release.

I'm more precisely interested in DTP Enablement: SQL Dialect
Support/Extensibility (http://bugs.eclipse.org/202592).
Is there already information available and a way to contribute or is it
too early.

Regards,
Philippe Weber

The vendorExtension extension point is used in IBM products.

There are a couple of EclipseCon presentations that give an overview of
how to extend the SQL query parser and model. Here are links where you
can download the presentations:

EclipseCon 2006: Developing data tools with the DTP SQL models and parser
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2006/Sub.do?id=258

EclipseCon 2007: Do you speak my dialect? Editing, parsing, and
building SQL with the DTP SQL Development Tools
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2007/index.php?page=sub/&id=38 78

They have some further links on their "Resources" pages at the end.

I have a small example extension for PostgreSQL that I used for a
presentation a while back. I'll get it working on the latest version of
DTP and find a place to put it in CVS.

Regards,
Brian
