hi all,

  i am interested in creating an SQL tutorial tool
which allows users to query in-memory data structures
using sql statements.

  i am new to the world or yacc lex and antlr and i
know nothing about tokens other than those i wasted in
las vegas, let alone ll & lr grammar.  initially i
thought regex was the way to go but i still ended with
the same question:

  given a statement, how do i execute it?

the statement is dynamic, how do i dynamically create
a sequence of calls to instructions that will satisfy
the statement?

  antlr seems like the way to go but i am not sure how
i can use it to solve my problem.  and since i am new
to this domain, can anyone give some useful pointers
as to how i can get started?

  thanks.
