Appendix D. JDO Query Language BNF

Appendix D. JDO Query Language BNF

The following set of grammars define the syntax of the JDO Query Language. Terminal symbols are shown in bold. Nonterminal symbols are shown in italic. The name of a nonterminal, followed by a colon, introduces the definition of the nonterminal. Subsequent lines specify one or more alternatives for the nonterminal with a level of indentation. A blank line indicates the end of the alternatives. An optional symbol in the syntax may occur with the nonterminals DeclareParameters, DeclareVariables, DeclareImports, and SetOrdering.
