COMPREHENSION SUPPORT OF SQL STATEMENT USING DOUBLE-TREE STRUCTURE

Abstract

SQL is a practical programming language used mainly in the query to relational database. However there have been rarely met support tools for database programmers’ understanding with relation to SQL statements. We have proposed a framework where a clamshell diagram which looks like a symmetrical, double tree is drawn given an SQL statement. In this paper, we report an automatic conversion system of SQL statements into clamshell diagrams. The system parses the given statement and arranges the configuration which differs slightly from the well-known syntax tree. Moreover we actually generated some dozens of diagrams for SQL statements using the system to make sure that it can readily draw diagrams.
