/**
 * Strategy interface for vendor-specific SQL parsing.
 *
 * <p>This interface defines the contract for all database vendor-specific parsers.
 * Each vendor (Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.) provides its own implementation
 * that handles the vendor-specific tokenization, parsing, and semantic analysis.
 *
 * <p><b>Design Pattern:</b> Strategy Pattern
 * <ul>
 *   <li>The strategy (SqlParser) is selected at runtime based on database vendor</li>
 *   <li>All inputs come from {@link ParserContext} (immutable)</li>
 *   <li>All outputs go to {@link SqlParseResult} (immutable)</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p><b>Usage Example:</b>
 * <pre>
 * // Get parser for specific vendor
 * SqlParser parser = SqlParserFactory.get(EDbVendor.dbvoracle);
 *
 * // Build context with inputs
 * ParserContext context = new ParserContext.Builder(EDbVendor.dbvoracle)
 *     .sqlText("SELECT * FROM employees")
 *     .build();
 *
 * // Parse and get result
 * SqlParseResult result = parser.parse(context);
 *
 * // Access outputs
 * TStatementList statements = result.getSqlStatements();
 * </pre>
 *
 * @see ParserContext
 * @see SqlParseResult
 * @see AbstractSqlParser
 * @since 3.2.0.0
