 51                            compliant SQL statements.
 52                        
 53                            Here's an example which parses a SELECT statement:
 54                        
 55                            <pre>
 56                        	const char TEXT[] = "SELECT X,Y FROM MyClass WHERE X > 10 AND Y < 3";
 57                        
 58                        	// Note that this array must be null-terminated (sizeof(TEXT) includes
 59                        	// the null-terminator in the count).
 60                        
 61 mike          1.10     	Buffer text(TEXT, sizeof(TEXT));
 62 mike          1.2      
 63                        	WQLSelectStatement selectStatement;
 64                        
 65                        	WQLParser parser;
 66                        
 67                        	try
 68                        	{
 69                        	    parser.parse(text, selectStatement);
 70                        	}
 71                        	catch (ParseError&)
 72                        	{
 73                        	    ...
 74                        	}
 75                        	catch (MissingNullTerminator&)
 76                        	{
 77                        	    ...
 78                        	}
 79                            </pre>
 80                        
 81                            Note that the text must be NULL terminated or else the MissingNullTerminator
 82                            exception is thrown.
 83 mike          1.2      
 84                            The text is read and the result is left in the selectStatement output
 85                            argument.
 86                        
 87                            At this point you might wish to peek at the contents of the selectStatement.
 88                            This may be done by calling WQLSelectStatement::print() like this:
 89                        
 90                            <pre>
 91                        	WQLSelectStatement selectStatement;
 92                        	...
 93                        	selectStatement.print();
 94                            </pre>
 95                        
 96                            For the above query text, the following is printed:
 97                        
 98                            <pre>
 99                        	WQLSelectStatement
100                        	{
101                        	    _className: "MyClass"
102                        
103                        	    _propertyNames[0]: "X"
104 mike          1.2      	    _propertyNames[1]: "Y"
105                        
106                        	    _operations[0]: "WQL_GT"
107                        	    _operations[1]: "WQL_LT"
108                        	    _operations[2]: "WQL_AND"
109                        
110                        	    _operands[0]: "PROPERTY_NAME: X"
111                        	    _operands[1]: "INTEGER_VALUE: 10"
112                        	    _operands[2]: "PROPERTY_NAME: Y"
113                        	    _operands[3]: "INTEGER_VALUE: 3"
114                        	}
115                            </pre>
116                        
117                            The WQLSelectStatement::evaluateWhereClause() method may be called to
118                            determine whether a particular instance (whose properties are made 
119                            available to he evaluateWhereClause() by a user implementation of the
120                            WQLPropertySource class). This method returns true, if the where clause
121                            matches this instance. Here is an example:
122                        
123                            <pre>
124                        	WQLSelectStatement selectStatement;
125 mike          1.2      	...
126                        	WQLPropertySource* propertySource = new MyPropertySource(...);
127                        
128                        	if (selectStatement.evaluateWhereClause(propertySource))
129                        	{
130                        	    // It's a match!
131                        	}
132                            </pre>
133                        
134                            The evaluateWhereClause() method calls propertySource->getValue() to
135                            obtain values for each of the properties referred to in where clause (X 
136                            and Y in the above query example).
137                        
138                            The implementer of the WQLPropertySource interface must provide the
139                            implementation of getValue() to produce values for the target data
140                            types. The WQL library makes no assumptions about the nature of the 
141                            target data representation. This was done so that this libary could be
142                            adapted to multiple data representations.
143                        
144                            For use with Pegasus CIMInstance objects, a CIMInstancePropertySource
145                            class could be developed whose getValue() method fetches values from 
146 mike          1.2          a CIMInstance. Here is an example of how it might be used.
147                        
148                            <pre>
149                        	CIMInstancePropertySource* propertySource 
150                        	    = new CIMInstancePropertySource(...);
151                        
152                        	CIMInstance instance;
153                        
154                        	while (instance = GetNextInstance(...))
155                        	{
156                        	    propertySource->setInstance(currentInstance);
157                        
158                        	    if (selectStatement.evaluateWhereClause(propertySource))
159                        	    {
160                        		// It's a match!
161                        	    }
162                        	}
163                            </pre>
164                        
165                            Of course the numeration of instances is left to the user of WQL.
