anybody know of a general sql parser that can let me work with ASTs? one that can not completely choke a non standard dialect?

I only actually have one copy, but I had both my own copy, and had borrowed the university copy for a short period of time.

Coming up on having borrowed the Garbage Collection Handbook without interruptions for a year. Richard Jones told me if I hold out for a few more months, I could get the new edition.

Well, I hope it's a year. I have the little slip of paper that fell out, with "PATTON, HAYLEY 19.07.21" written on it, but the online system says I borrowed it on the 14th. Granted, it took a week for the library to find the book.

rendar: The garbage-collection handbook? Sure, if you are interested in automatic memory management. It has a description of all the major techniques and their characteristics. And there is no other book like it.

AMOP or the GC Handbook? I only bought the former, but the latter would be a good investment too.

rendar: However, it is not very well written, though perhaps the new edition will be better. I suspect not, however.

Though, yes, as beach says, the latter is only useful if you want to work with garbage collection.

The description of the Lisp-2 compaction algorithm is going to be better in the new edition, at least.
