Using the interactive switch it's also possible to run it in a batch mode by piping sql queries to standard input. In res/ you can find parse trees of Star Schema Benchmark queries (sql) produced by res/ssb.sh:

• Plain text
• ANSI color coded output which is highlighted by shells
• LaTeX (PDF: Github viewer, Download)
