The second edition contains completely revised tutorial sections for novice users and reference sections for advanced users. This edition is twice the size of the first and has an expanded index.

The following material has been added:

Each utility is explained in a chapter that covers basic usage and simple, stand-alone applications

How to implement a full SQL grammar, with full sample code

Major MS-DOS and Unix versions of "lex" and "yacc" are explored in depth, including AT&T "lex" and "yacc," Berkeley "yacc," Berkeley/GNU Flex, GNU Bison, MKS "lex" and
