[antlr-interest] [newbie:] Unablanced tree resulting from SQL-parser

[framiboe]

Hi all,

it's my first contact to antlr and I managed "MS SQL Select 
Statement"-grammar by Tomasz Jastrzebski to produce Java-Code. It 
works, partly. It runs without exception and tokenizes a complex SQL-
statement into its atoms. That's good. But the resulting tree is a 
totally unbalanced tree, because every node was put "right" under its 
parent. I've expected to receive a logical tree, something like 

"select" -> column-list -> columns
    v
"from" -> table-list
    v
"where"

and so on. I hope, that was understandable?! What I receive now, is 
more a linked list of tokens instead of a tree.

Question:
- Does that depend on the grammar definition?
- Do I have any possibilities to influence the tree building process?
- Did I understand the whole antlr-thing wrong?

Thanks and regards,
frank
