   Hello Compiler Experts!   
      
   I read this [1] on Quora:   
      
   > I have written some complex things in SQL, like a parser and compiler   
      
   Interesting!   
      
   Have you done that - written a parser and/or compiler in SQL? How did you do   
   it? Is there a web page or book that describes how to do it?

   [I can imagine how to do it but it is hard to imagine why you'd do it other   
   than as a stunt.  I am reminded of Henry Spencer's Amazing Awk Assembler.
