621 No need to specialize finalize-inheritance for openmcl.
622 * tests/test-*.lisp: Rename fields so that joins occur on
623 fields with different names. This ensures that join code is

664 statement and just requiring one SQL query. Add :retrieval :deferrred
665 to target-slot joins. Add placeholder for update-objects-join.
666 * sql/classes.lisp: Add :inner-join and :on slots to sql-query class
667 and process them for query output-sql.

672 of query-expression in DO-QUERY
673 * sql/objects.lisp: Make SELECT a normal function.

717 of SQL-IDENT-ATTRIBUTE.
718 * test/test-oodml.lisp: Enable OO loop iteration test,

1419 for MYSQL structure. This will make the code more robust in
1420 the event that MySQL library changes the size of the mysql-mysql
