Hi,
Regarding this e-mail, to check the correctness of the queries against the specification, is there any "validator" for CQL queries that could be used to check their correctness backed by OASIS, LOC or similar?

Thanks in advance,

Ricardo

Although the formal specification of CQL stupidly prohibits this
useful and unambiguous syntax, most or maybe all actual
implementations support it -- certainly the C/C++ parser in YAZ,
CQL-Java, the Perl CQL::Parser and thr Ruby gem all do. Have you
tried just going ahead and doing it? If it's being rejected, what CQL
parser are you using?
