A User's Guide to the Z-ShellThe Z-Shell
, `zsh' for short, is a command interpreter for UNIX systems, or in UNIX jargon, a `shell', because it wraps around the commands you use. More than that, however, zsh is a particularly powerful shell --- and it's free, and under regular maintenance www.ewalkins.comClick Here To View Full Details

Bison - The Yacc Compatible Parser Generator
Bison - The Yacc Compatible Parser Generator
Bison is a general-purpose parser generator that converts a grammar description for an LALR(1) context-free grammar into a C program to parse that grammar. Once you are proficient with Bison, you may use it to develop a wide range of language parsers, from those used in simple desk calculators to complex programming languages.www.ewalkins.com

Compiler Construction Using FLex and Bison
Compiler Construction Using FLex and Bison
A computer constructed from actual physical devices is termed an actual computer or hardware computer. From the programming point of view, it is the instruction set of the hardware that defines a machine. An operating system is built on top of a machine to manage access to the machine and to provide additional services.

Parsing Techniques A Practical Guide
Parsing Techniques A Practical Guide
This 320-page book treats parsing in its own right, in greater depth than is found in most computer science and linguistics books. It offers a clear, accessible, and thorough discussion of many different parsing techniques with their interrelations and applicabilities, including error recovery techniques.

It is in fact mildly misleading that the collections are called "lecture" since a few collections are too short for a lecture (being supplemented by other material on the blackboard) and a few are too long (being split over lectures). However, the entire collection of transparencies have been used for about 26 lectures of 45 minutes each.

Oracle Programming with Visual Basic
Oracle Programming with Visual Basic
This is an unusual book as far as computer literature goes in that it covers two quite separate areas of information technology. Many good books are available on Oracle, although nearly every one is designed as a source of information for database administrators. There are probably more books on Visual Basic than any other topic except perhaps the Web, but you will rarely see the word “Oracle” in the indexes. The lack of information is what I found myself dealing with a few years ago. Even with my strong background in Visual Basic (version 3 at the time), I found getting myself connected to an Oracle database and making it perform efficiently and effectively posed a problem that needed an answer.

Introducing Oracle
In this chapter:
The Evolution of the Relational Database
The Oracle Family
Summary of Oracle Features
Oracle Internet Developer Suite
Oracle Lite
Where do we start? One of the problems in comprehending a massive product such as the Oracle database is the difficulty of getting a good sense of how the product works without getting lost in the details of implementing specific solutions. This book aims to solve this problem by giving you a thorough grounding in the concepts and technologies that form the foundation of Oracle's technology products: the Database Server (currently Oracle9i) and the Application Server (Oracle9iAS). Oracle is also a provider of business applications, popularly named the "E-Business Suite"; discussion of those applications is outside the scope of this book, although we do touch on how technology components are being leveraged in linking Oracle's applications to non-Oracle applications and in building data warehouses.

MySQL & mSQL@ Chapter 10: Perl
MySQL & mSQL@ Chapter 10: Perl
The Perl programming language has gone from a tool primarily used by Unix systems administrators to the most widely used development platform for the World Wide Web. Perl was not designed for the web, but its ease of use and powerful text handling abilities have made it a natural for CGI programming. Similarly, when mSQL first entered the scene, its extremely small footprint and execution time were very attractive to web developers who needed to serve thousands of transactions a day. MySQL, with its enhanced speed and capabilities provided an even greater incentive for web developers. Therefore, it was only natural that a Perl interface to both MySQL and mSQL was developed that allowed the best of both worlds.

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group is proud to announce the release of PostgreSQL 8.3, the world's most advanced open source database.
The Home of Mini SQL (mSQL)
Mini SQL is our light-weight SQL Database engine technology. First developed in 1994, the release of mSQL 3 marks the third generation of the software. The generation 3 series provides new features that make mSQL even more suited to both large scale applications and resource constrained embedded environments. Better performance, more efficient memory use, and fantastic portability are just some of the benefits provided by Mini SQL 3.
Oracle and SAP Administration
Oracle and SAP Administration
Administering an Oracle/SAP system, and maximizing the performance of its database, is a formidable job. You need to fully understand how both the SAP and Oracle systems work in isolation, and you need to know how they work together. In subsequent chapters of this book, I'll describe the specifics of that interaction. You'll learn how to use the special Oracle/SAP utilities, how to deal with the limitations of conventional Oracle functions, and how to place and reorganize files. Furthermore, after reading this book, you'll know more about monitoring databases during operation, tuning them, running backup and recovery, and performing special operations for systems that use parallel technologies or that support unusually large databases.

SQL Functions
SQL Functions
SQL Functions
A function is a special type of command word in the SQL99 command set. In effect, functions are one-word commands that return a single value. The value of a function can be determined by input parameters, as with a function that averages a list of database values. But many functions do not use any type of input parameter, such as the function that returns the current system time, CURRENT_TIME.
The SQL99 standard supports a number of useful functions. This chapter covers those functions, providing detailed descriptions and examples. In addition, each database vendor maintains a long list of their own internal functions that are outside of the scope of the SQL standard. Lists and descriptions are provided for each database implementation's internal functions.
In addition, most database vendors support the ability to create user-defined functions (UDF). For more information on UDFs, refer to the CREATE FUNCTION command in Chapter 3, SQL Statements Command Reference.

These two can form two different passes of a Parser. The Lexical analysis can store all the recognized tokens in an intermediate file and give it to the Parser as an input. However it is more convenient to have the lexical Analyzer as a coroutine or a subroutine which the Parser calls whenever it requires a token.
