 40 mike  1.1.2.7 /** This class is the main interface to the WQL parser used for parsing WQL1
 41                   compliant SQL statements.
 42 mike  1.1.2.4 
 43 mike  1.1.2.7     Here's an example which parses a SELECT statement:
 44 mike  1.1.2.4 
 45                   <pre>
 46 mike  1.1.2.7 	const char TEXT[] = "SELECT X,Y FROM MyClass WHERE X > 10 AND Y < 3";
 47               
 48               	// Note that this array must be null-terminated (sizeof(TEXT) includes
 49               	// the null-terminator in the count).
 50               
 51 mike  1.1.2.4 	Array<Sint8> text(TEXT, sizeof(TEXT));
 52 mike  1.1.2.7 
 53 mike  1.1.2.4 	WQLSelectStatement selectStatement;
 54               
 55               	WQLParser parser;
 56               
 57               	try
 58               	{
 59               	    parser.parse(text, selectStatement);
 60               	}
 61               	catch (ParseError&)
 62               	{
 63               	    ...
 64               	}
 65               	catch (MissingNullTerminator&)
 66               	{
 67               	    ...
 68               	}
 69                   </pre>
 70               
 71 mike  1.1.2.7     Note that the text must be NULL terminated or else the MissingNullTerminator
 72 mike  1.1.2.4     exception is thrown.
 73 mike  1.1.2.7 
 74                   The text is read and the result is left in the selectStatement output
 75                   argument.
 76               
 77                   At this point you might wish to peek at the contents of the selectStatement.
 78                   This may be done by calling WQLSelectStatement::print() like this:
 79               
 80                   <pre>
 81               	WQLSelectStatement selectStatement;
 82               	...
 83               	selectStatement.print();
 84                   </pre>
 85               
 86                   For the above query text, the following is printed:
 87               
 88                   <pre>
 89               	WQLSelectStatement
 90               	{
 91               	    _className: "MyClass"
 92               
 93               	    _propertyNames[0]: "X"
 94 mike  1.1.2.7 	    _propertyNames[1]: "Y"
 95               
 96               	    _operations[0]: "WQL_GT"
 97               	    _operations[1]: "WQL_LT"
 98               	    _operations[2]: "WQL_AND"
 99               
100               	    _operands[0]: "PROPERTY_NAME: X"
101               	    _operands[1]: "INTEGER_VALUE: 10"
102               	    _operands[2]: "PROPERTY_NAME: Y"
103               	    _operands[3]: "INTEGER_VALUE: 3"
104               	}
105                   </pre>
106               
107                   The WQLSelectStatement::evaluateWhereClause() method may be called to
108                   determine whether a particular instance (whose properties are made 
109                   available to he evaluateWhereClause() by a user implementation of the
110                   WQLPropertySource class). This method returns true, if the where clause
111                   matches this instance. Here is an example:
112               
113                   <pre>
114               	WQLSelectStatement selectStatement;
115 mike  1.1.2.7 	...
116               	WQLPropertySource* propertySource = new MyPropertySource(...);
117               
118               	if (selectStatement.evaluateWhereClause(propertySource))
119               	{
120               	    // It's a match!
121               	}
122                   </pre>
123               
124                   The evaluateWhereClause() method calls propertySource->getValue() to
125                   obtain values for each of the properties referred to in where clause (X 
126                   and Y in the above query example).
127               
128                   The implementer of the WQLPropertySource interface must provide the
129                   implementation of getValue() to produce values for the target data
130                   types. The WQL library makes no assumptions about the nature of the 
131                   target data representation. This was done so that this libary could be
132                   adapted to multiple data representations.
133               
134                   For use with Pegasus CIMInstance objects, a CIMInstancePropertySource
135                   class could be developed whose getValue() method fetches values from 
136 mike  1.1.2.7     a CIMInstance. Here is an example of how it might be used.
137               
138                   <pre>
139               	CIMInstancePropertySource* propertySource 
140               	    = new CIMInstancePropertySource(...);
141               
142               	CIMInstance instance;
143               
144               	while (instance = GetNextInstance(...))
145               	{
146               	    propertySource->setInstance(currentInstance);
147               
148               	    if (selectStatement.evaluateWhereClause(propertySource))
149               	    {
150               		// It's a match!
151               	    }
152               	}
153                   </pre>
154               
155                   Of course the numeration of instances is left to the user of WQL.
