@Deprecated
public class SqlCommentScrubber
extends Object

Deprecated.

Use SqlScriptParser instead.

This class represents a parser that will remove SQL comments (both multi-line and single-line) from a string representing a SQL query. It respects the notion of a string literal, such that if a comment appears in a string literal, it is treated as part of the string instead of a comment. Both single-quoted and double-quoted string literals are supported, including nested quotes (whether the SQL dialect supports them or not).

Method Detail

removeComments

public static String removeComments(String text)

Deprecated.

This method will remove SQL comments (both multi-line and single-line) from a string representing a SQL query. It respects the notion of a string literal, such that if a comment appears in a string literal, it is treated as part of the string instead of a comment. A simple state machine is implemented, keeping track of whether the current character is starting, ending, or inside a comment construct. The state machine also checks to see if the current character is starting, ending, or inside a single-quoted string literal, as this takes precedence over comment constructs. In other words, comments inside strings are not actually comments, they are part of the string literal.

Parameters:

text - a string representing the SQL query to parse and from which to remove comments

Returns:

the input string with SQL comments removed, or null if the input string is null
