#23 Improve query parsing by using an existing library

Closed
opened 8 years ago by patrick.jattke · 0 comments

The parsing process of queries is not robust and providing queries not recognized may lead to errors or unexpressive error messages. For example, submitting the query most_used(macAddr); prints the error message An error occurred: near "None": syntax error.

Therefore I suggest re-implementing the query parsing functionality in StatsDatabase.process_db_query and StatsDatabase._process_named_query. This can be realized by using an existing library such as pyparsing.

This can be realized by using an existing library such as [pyparsing](http://pyparsing.wikispaces.com/).
