Oracle

[Jonathan Lowery]

Are there any plans to support formatting that is compatible with Oracle? I was going to attempt to use this in creating an end-user tool for generating sql, but the dbms most frequently used runs on Oracle, which does not like the AS keyword, double-quotes, or quoted table/column references. I could retool your code to do this, but would not want to waste effort if you a;ready plan to do so.

Any additional support is welcome as far as it is not too much away from
SQL standard.

What? Oracle doesn't have "AS" but I see in [1] that it is allowed.

What does it use for quoting keywords?
Here [1], they seem to say it uses double quote.

Here are some patches that should allow to use python-sql with
Oracle DB:

- Add a flavor to not use AS: https://python-sql.tryton.org/bug38
- Support numeric paramstyle: https://python-sql.tryton.org/bug39
- Add limit style: rownum: https://python-sql.tryton.org/bug40

For the double-quotes and quoted table/column, as far as I see (on
Oracle 11g XE) they are correctly supported. Indeed for what I
understand, if you don't quote table/column, Oracle convert the name to
upper case. So maybe you have all your table/column named in upper case
and are used to query without quote in lower case. I think we must keep
the quote everywhere as they ensure unambiguity.
