 44           /** This class is the main interface to the CQL parser used for parsing CQL1
 45               compliant SQL statements.
 46           
 47               Here's an example which parses a SELECT statement:
 48           
 49               <pre>
 50           	const char TEXT[] = "SELECT X,Y FROM MyClass WHERE X > 10 AND Y < 3";
 51           
 52           	// Note that this array must be null-terminated (sizeof(TEXT) includes
 53           	// the null-terminator in the count).
 54           
 55           	Array<Sint8> text(TEXT, sizeof(TEXT));
 56           
 57           	WQLSelectStatement selectStatement;
 58           
 59           	WQLParser parser;
 60           
 61           	try
 62           	{
 63           	    parser.parse(text, selectStatement);
 64 chuck 1.2 	}
 65           	catch (ParseError&)
 66           	{
 67           	    ...
 68           	}
 69           	catch (MissingNullTerminator&)
 70           	{
 71           	    ...
 72           	}
 73               </pre>
 74           
 75               Note that the text must be NULL terminated or else the MissingNullTerminator
 76               exception is thrown.
 77           
 78               The text is read and the result is left in the selectStatement output
 79               argument.
 80           
 81               At this point you might wish to peek at the contents of the selectStatement.
 82               This may be done by calling WQLSelectStatement::print() like this:
 83           
 84               <pre>
 85 chuck 1.2 	WQLSelectStatement selectStatement;
 86           	...
 87           	selectStatement.print();
 88               </pre>
 89           
 90               For the above query text, the following is printed:
 91           
 92               <pre>
 93           	WQLSelectStatement
 94           	{
 95           	    _className: "MyClass"
 96           
 97           	    _propertyNames[0]: "X"
 98           	    _propertyNames[1]: "Y"
 99           
100           	    _operations[0]: "WQL_GT"
101           	    _operations[1]: "WQL_LT"
102           	    _operations[2]: "WQL_AND"
103           
104           	    _operands[0]: "PROPERTY_NAME: X"
105           	    _operands[1]: "INTEGER_VALUE: 10"
106 chuck 1.2 	    _operands[2]: "PROPERTY_NAME: Y"
107           	    _operands[3]: "INTEGER_VALUE: 3"
108           	}
109               </pre>
110           
111               The WQLSelectStatement::evaluateWhereClause() method may be called to
112               determine whether a particular instance (whose properties are made 
113               available to he evaluateWhereClause() by a user implementation of the
114               WQLPropertySource class). This method returns true, if the where clause
115               matches this instance. Here is an example:
116           
117               <pre>
118           	WQLSelectStatement selectStatement;
119           	...
120           	WQLPropertySource* propertySource = new MyPropertySource(...);
121           
122           	if (selectStatement.evaluateWhereClause(propertySource))
123           	{
124           	    // It's a match!
125           	}
126               </pre>
127 chuck 1.2 
128               The evaluateWhereClause() method calls propertySource->getValue() to
129               obtain values for each of the properties referred to in where clause (X 
130               and Y in the above query example).
131           
132               The implementer of the WQLPropertySource interface must provide the
133               implementation of getValue() to produce values for the target data
134               types. The WQL library makes no assumptions about the nature of the 
135               target data representation. This was done so that this libary could be
136               adapted to multiple data representations.
137           
138               For use with Pegasus CIMInstance objects, a CIMInstancePropertySource
139               class could be developed whose getValue() method fetches values from 
140               a CIMInstance. Here is an example of how it might be used.
141           
142               <pre>
143           	CIMInstancePropertySource* propertySource 
144           	    = new CIMInstancePropertySource(...);
145           
146           	CIMInstance instance;
147           
148 chuck 1.2 	while (instance = GetNextInstance(...))
149           	{
150           	    propertySource->setInstance(currentInstance);
151           
152           	    if (selectStatement.evaluateWhereClause(propertySource))
153           	    {
154           		// It's a match!
155           	    }
156           	}
157               </pre>
158           
159               Of course the numeration of instances is left to the user of WQL.
