SFPUG June: Parsers & pgCon

sfpug — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 00:25:53 +0100

Date: Wednesday, June 11th Time: 7:30 PM Food: TBA Directons to Casa Donde pgCon Report Josh Berkus and David Fetter will give a recap of what happened at pgCon for those who missed it, as well as discuss the fallout from that conference, including replication in the core, commitfests, and more. Plus slides! An Introduction to Parsing No matter what language you use to write software -- from Basic and C to Java, Python, Perl and SQL -- a parser is part of the behind-the-scenes machinery. The parser is an essential part of translating what you write into something that can be executed. It analyzes your code and breaks it down into contants, variables, statements, expressions, punctuation, etc. We'll talk about what parsing is, how a parser works, how parsing integrates with semantic analysis, and discuss some different types of parsers and compiler-compilers. We'll finish with a very brief look at the PostgreSQL parser.
