WhereClause      -> WHERE Condition (AND Condition)*
OrderByClause    -> ORDER BY Ordering (, Ordering)*
LimitClause      -> LIMIT PositiveInteger
ParametersClause -> PARAMETERS Literal = Value (, Literal = Value)*

Condition        -> FieldName Operator Value

Value            -> Literal | LiteralList | Number | NumberList | String |
                    StringList | Function
Ordering         -> FieldName (ASC | DESC)?

FieldName        -> [a-z] ([a-zA-Z0-9._])*

StringList       -> ( String (, String)* )
LiteralList      -> ( Literal (, Literal)* )
NumberList       -> ( Number (, Number)* )

PositiveInteger  -> [1-9] ([0-9])*
Number           -> -? [0-9]+ (. [0-9] [0-9]*)?

?indicates an optional element
* means zero or more; + means one or more
(xxxxxx) indicates a grouping
[a-z0-9] signifies character ranges
| stands for "or"

Rules and limitations

The REGEXP_MATCH operator uses RE2 syntax.
To match a literal [, ], %, or _ using the LIKE operator, surround the character in square brackets. For example, the following condition matches all campaign.name values that start with [Earth_to_Mars]:
```
campaign.name LIKE '[[]Earth[_]to[_]Mars[]]%'
```
The LIKE operator can only be used on a string field, not an array.
