+C++ SQL Parser for Hyrise
+=========================
 
 This is a SQL Parser for C++. It parses the given SQL query into C++ objects.
 It is developed for integration in hyrise (https://github.com/hyrise/hyrise), but can be used in other environments as well.

 To use the SQL Parser in your own code, you only need to include `SQLParser.h` and build+link all the source files from the parser with your project. See `hyrise/src/lib/access/sql/SQLQueryParser.cpp` for how it's used in Hyrise.
 
-### Run tests
+**Important:** Execute all tests by calling `make test`.
 
-To execute all tests run: `./run_tests.sh`.

-### Update in Hyrise

-Run `./deploy_to_hyris.sh path/to/hyrise` to update the SQL parser within Hyrise.

 This page contains information about how to extend this parser with new functionalities.

 ## Implementing Statement Class
 
-TODO
+Create a new file and class in src/lib/statements/ or extend any of the existing Statements. Every statement needs to have the base class SQLStatement and needs to call its super constructor with its type. If your defining a new statement type, you need to define a new StatementType in SQLStatement.h.
+
+It is important that you create an appropriate constructor for your statement that zero-initializes all its pointer variables and that your create an appropriate destructor.
+
+Lastly you need to include your new file in src/lib/sqllib.h
+
+
+
+## Extending the Grammar
+
+Related files:
+ * src/parser/bison_parser.y
+ * src/parser/flex_lexer.l
+ * src/parser/keywordlist_generator.py
+ * src/parser/sql_keywords.txt
+
+To extend the grammar the file you will mostly have to deal with is the bison grammar definition in src/parser/bison_parser.y.
+
+If your extending an existing statement, skip to the non-terminal definition for that statement. I.e. for an InsertStatement the non-terminal insert_statement.
+
+If your defining a new statement, you will need to define your type in the \%union directive `hsql::ExampleStatement example_stmt`. Next you need to associate this type with a non-terminal `\%type <example_stmt> example_statement`. Then you have to define the non-terminal `example_statement`. Look the other non-terminals for statements to figure out how.
