[antlr-interest] Parsing the Keywords/Identifiers

[srinivasan.subramanian at tcs.com]

Hi everyone,
                I am part of a Language Processing project and i am 
relatively new to ANTLR. One of the problems that i often encounter is the 
keywords. Whenever we encounter we encounter an identifier, we check it 
against a keyword list and return the keyword token if it is a keyword or 
an IDENTIFIER token if it is not. There can be situations where a keyword 
can come as an identifier. For example when writing a pl/sql parser, 
PASSWORD is a keyword and it can come as a column name too. Is there a way 
around for this?  Hope i am clear in explaining the problem.

Could anyone please help me out on this?

Thanks,
