I'm new to the DTP project. I scan the newsgroups and other resources
and it is confusing.
In the articles
( http://www.eclipse.org/datatools/project_modelbase/modelbase _doc/DTP%20Modelbase%20White%20paper.htm)
it shows that there is an extension point that will create a DDL parser
but I can not find the extension point.

In other article
( http://www.eclipse.org/datatools/project_sqldevtools/sqltool s_doc/SQL%20Query%20Parser%20User%20documentation.htm)
I found code that parses SQL commands but not the "CREATE" command.
Does some one have sample code (plugin) that will parse DDL?

I saw few newsgroup entries talking about getting the EMF model of the
DDL but no reference to how to go about doing it.

In my current project I need to create a list of tables and columns that
are created by the DDL. I would like to use the DTP to shorten the
development time of a parser.

Any help?

Thanks
Yigal

Yigal,

The DDL parser extension point mentioned in the first article is defined
in plugin org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.sqm.core. See plugin
org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.apache.derby for an example of a
plugin that implements the interfaces defined in sqm.core.

The second article describes a parser that is focused on parsing DML
rather than DDL. It can be extended to parse DDL statements, but it
would take some work.
