How SQL Parsing Affects Performance

Zellin Looney: How does the programming language that you're parsing into affect the performance or the characteristics of your parser? So I don't think there was a lot of work on that. Geo880 is kind of like Lambda calculus based and all the work by Luke starting from 2005, his base on CCGs and Lambda calculus. He says in general, what we would want is that the formal language would align well with the natural language. And this is evidenced by a recent paper where they showed that when they translate SQL to some nicer language,. They get substantial gains on the spider dataset from Yale.
