While I can't access the specific ANTLR grammar used within the Microsoft.SqlServer.TransactSql.ScriptDom assembly, I can provide information based on available resources and general ANTLR usage:
Likely Grammar Location:
The grammar file likely resides within the assembly itself, but it's not directly accessible or editable.
Accessing Grammar Information:
Reflection: Use tools like ILSpy or dotPeek to inspect the assembly and potentially view generated parser/lexer classes, hinting at grammar structure.
Documentation: Consult official Microsoft documentation or community resources for insights.
Using the Assembly:
Scripting: The assembly primarily supports parsing and working with Transact-SQL scripts programmatically.
Grammar Exploration: To delve deeper into the grammar, consider using ANTLR to create a custom T-SQL parser from a publicly available grammar or crafting one yourself.
Additional Considerations:
Grammar Version: The specific grammar version employed within the assembly might vary.
Grammar Changes: Microsoft could update the grammar in future releases.
Recommendations:
Specific Needs: Clarify your goals for understanding the grammar. This will guide next steps.
Alternate Solutions: Explore alternative methods to achieve your objectives, such as using publicly available T-SQL grammars with ANTLR directly.
I'm ready to assist further based on your specific requirements.
