  MINSE Notation Definitions
An operator is non-associative when it doesn't make sense to use in succession (for example, the associativity of the operator "is an element of" is "nonassoc").
Another special associativity type called "chain" is defined to deal with a series of several operators that may be different (but are all of a similar nature), like "X is less than Y is less than or equal to Z".
The second argument is the associativity of the precedence level, which is either "unleft" or "unright" for unary operators; "left", "right", or "nonassoc" for binary operators; or "serial" or "chain" for operators with many arguments.

Associative operations are abundant in mathematics, and in fact most algebraic structures explicitly require their binary operations to be associative.
Power associativity and alternativity are weak forms of associativity.

 Table of C and C++ operator precedence and associativity
Operator precedence determines which operator will be performed first in a group of operators with different precedences.
The operator associativity rules define the order in which adjacent operators with the same precedence level are evaluated.
In this case we say that subtraction is left associative meaning that the left most subtraction must be done first.

Operators can be thought of as functors which can be used with a different syntax, in addition to the functional one.
Operators only provide a means to construct structured data objects, no automatic or implicit operation is performed on these objects.
In this case, the precedence of the operators used in the expression is considered first and the operator with the highest precedence is considered the main functor.

We generally use braces when the operators involved are at a statement-level rather than at an expression level; however this is simply a convention and is not enforced by the parser.
An operator declaration must be mapped into the internal form where the expected priorities on the left and right are explicitly represented.
Operator precedence grammars are usually used for describing arithmetic expressions where this limitation is not very important.

Operators with a low "Priority" bind more tightly than those with a high "Priority".
"y" represents an argument whose priority is lower or equal to that of the operator.
For example, "yfx" indicates a left-associative infix operator, while "xfy" indicates a right-associative infix operator.

Ans 4 If operators on the same level of precedence do not have the same associativity, then a sequence of them cannot be grouped correctly by the grammar.
First, a string such as 'a + b - c', where the left associative operator is on the left, and the right associative operator is on the right, cannot be parsed.
One tree corresponds to grouping the left associative operator with its operands first, and the other corresponds to grouping the right associative operator with its operands first.

 User-Defined Operator Symbols and Control Structures
In addition to well-known unary and binary operators, fixary operator combinations consisting of a sequence of associated operator symbols to connect a fixed number of operands as well as flexary operators connecting any number of operands are supported.
Finally, operators whose operands are only evaluated on demand (roughly comparable to lazy evaluation in functional languages) are supported in an imperative language.
These operators are particularly useful to implement new kinds of control structures, especially as they accept whole blocks of statements as operands, too.

Syntactically, terms in Mercury are exactly the same as in ISO Prolog, except that as extensions we permit higher-order terms and the introduction of infix operators by the use of grave accents (backquotes), as described below, and we support an extended set of builtin operators.
An operator term is a term specified using operator notation, as in Prolog.
Operators can also be formed by enclosing a variable or name between grave accents (backquotes).

Jim, I believe this problem can be fixed with a very simple change to the SQL parser.
When parsing an expression to postfix, it appears an operator is being popped from the stack only when an operator is found with a higher precedence, meaning operators with equal precedence are popped (and being evaluated) from right to left.

The normalization rules are assumed to operate on (and produce) syntactic structures that conform to the grammar(s) defined elsewhere.
But I'm pretty sure I've given the *intended* meaning.) So the slash operator (along with most binary operators) is left-associative.
