* CACHE-TABLE-QUERIES
* Test that ":db-kind :key" adds an index for that key. This is complicated by different
backends showing autogenerated primary key in different ways.
-* Large object testing
* Test bigint type
* :db-constraint tests
+* test *db-auto-sync*
+* for-each-row macro
+* universal-time
-POSSIBLE EXTENSIONS
-
-* port Oracle backend to UFFI
-* large object support
-* add support for prepared statements
-
-COMMONSQL SPEC
-
-* Missing:
-
- UPDATE-OBJECT-JOINS
+COMMONSQL INCOMPATIBILITY
-* Incompatible
+ o variables (e.g., table identifiers) should be instantiated at runtime
+ o userenv (Oracle specific but deprecated in Oracle 9)
- >> The functional sql interface
-
- SELECT
- o keyword arg :refresh should function as advertised
- o should accept type-modified database identifiers (e.g.,
- [foo :string] which means that the values in column foo are returned
- as Lisp strings)
+VARIANCES FROM COMMONSQL
- >> The object-oriented sql interface
+COMMIT,ROLLBACK,START-TRANSACTION:
+ When COMMIT or ROLLBACK are called outside of WITH-TRANSACTION, an sql
+ transaction must be explicitly started first with START-TRANSACTION.
- DEF-VIEW-CLASS
- o get :target-slot working
- o implement :retrieval :immediate
+OPTIMIZATIONS
+
+* Revisit result-type list creation, perhaps caching
- >> Symbolic SQL syntax
-
- o Complete sql expressions (see operations.lisp)
-
- substr
- some
- order-by
- times
- nvl
- null
- distinct
- except
- intersect
- between
- userenv
-
- o variables (e.g., table identifiers) should be instantiated at runtime
+POSSIBLE EXTENSIONS
+* extend large object support to databases beyond postgresql, improve large object api
+* add support for prepared statements
+* port Oracle backend to UFFI
