## org.modeshape.sequencer.ddl
Interface DdlParser

All Known Implementing Classes:
  Db2DdlParser, DerbyDdlParser, MySqlDdlParser, OracleDdlParser, PostgresDdlParser, SqlServerDdlParser, StandardDdlParser, SybaseDdlParser

    public interface DdlParser

Interface for parsing DDL files.

Method Summary
`String` | `getId()` Get the identifier for this parser.
`void` | `parse(String ddl, AstNode rootNode, Object scoreReturnObject)` Parses a DDL string, adding child `AstNode`s and properties to the supplied root.
`Object` | `score(String ddl, String fileName, DdlParserScorer scorer)` Determine this parser's score for the given DDL string.

Method Detail

### score

    Object score(String ddl,
                 String fileName,
                 DdlParserScorer scorer)
                 throws ParsingException

  Determine this parser's score for the given DDL string. This method is called to determine how well this parser handles the supplied DDL, and is often called before the `parse(String, AstNode, Object)` method.

  Parameters:
    `ddl` - the input string to parse; may not be null
    `fileName` - the name of the DDL content, which may be used to improve the score; may be null if not known
    `scorer` - the scorer that should be used to record the score; may not be null
  Returns:
    an object that will be passed to the `parse(String, AstNode,Object)` method
  Throws:
    `ParsingException` - if there is an error parsing the supplied DDL content

### parse

    void parse(String ddl,
               AstNode rootNode,
               Object scoreReturnObject)
               throws ParsingException

  Parses a DDL string, adding child `AstNode`s and properties to the supplied root. This method instantiates the tokenizer, calls a method to allow subclasses to register keywords and statement start phrases with the tokenizer and finally performs the tokenizing (i.e. tokens.start()) before calling the actual parse method.

  Parameters:
    `ddl` - the input string to parse; may not be null
    `rootNode` - the top level `AstNode`; may not be null
    `scoreReturnObject` - the object returned from `score(String, String, DdlParserScorer)` for the same DDL content; may be null if the `score(String, String, DdlParserScorer)` method was not called
  Throws:
    `ParsingException` - if there is an error parsing the supplied DDL content

### getId

    String getId()

  Get the identifier for this parser.

  Returns:
    the parser's identifier; never null
