This project doesn't aim to be feature complete. Although it would like to be generic, it also currently specific DB2 constructs.

Notes

A DDL basically consists of two types of "statements": comments and actual statements. The former is identified by a double leading dash (--), the latter are separated using semi-colons (;).

The DDL parser starts of by checking if its current input starts with a double dash, if so, the remainder of the line, up to a new-line character (optional carriage returns are discarded anyway), is wrapped in a Comment object. If it is a statement, everything up to the next semi-colon is further parsed as a Statement.
