- .SH "DESCRIPTION"
- .PP
- As a convenience to database drivers, Tcl Database Connectivity (TDBC)
- provides a command to break SQL code apart into tokens so that bound
- variables can readily be identified and substituted.
- .PP
- The \fBtdbc::tokenize\fR command accepts as its parameter a string
- that is expected to contain one or more SQL statements. It returns a
- list of substrings; concatenating these substrings together will yield
- the original string. Each substring is one of the following:
- .IP [1]
- A bound variable, which begins with one of the
- characters '\fB:\fR', '\fB@\fR', or '\fB$\fR'. The
- remainder of the string is the variable
- name and will consist of alphanumeric characters and underscores. (The
- leading character will be be non-numeric.)
- .IP [2]
- A semicolon that separates two SQL statements.
- .IP [3]
- Something else in a SQL statement. The tokenizer does not attempt to
- parse SQL; it merely identifies bound variables (distinguishing them
- from similar strings appearing inside quotes or comments) and
- statement delimiters.
