So uhmm, use a new parser. Like the one antony wrote in LLVM? :) I mean, we would like to have window functions, CTE, and all those other fun things. SQL-92 is a not relevant anymore.

In MySQL times we've tried to replace a parser. Twice. Antony has spent a year on that - that was one of the attempts. We're still using the old one, so neither project was a success. And Oracle started "parser refactoring" in 5.7, but they're doing it piece-wise now, not trying to replace everything at once. And they'll have to stay with bison this way. What I mean - we very much want to use a new parser. We really do. But it's just such a huge project :( Regards, Sergei
