-GENERAL
-
-* port Oracle backend to UFFI.
-* consider adding large object support to mysql and odbc
-* add support for prepared statements.
-
TESTS TO ADD
* CACHE-TABLE-QUERIES
-* :VOID-VALUE attribute, use a new view-class with several fields with different void-values
-* :COLUMN attribute
* Test that ":db-kind :key" adds an index for that key. This is complicated by different
backends showing autogenerated primary key in different ways.
-* Test New universal and bigint types, add tests for other types such as duration and money
-* Large object testing
-* Test instance slot values when SELECT called for objects
-
-COMMONSQL SPEC
-
-* Missing:
-
- UPDATE-OBJECT-JOINS
-
-* Incompatible
-
- >> 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)
-
- >> The object-oriented sql interface
-
- DEF-VIEW-CLASS
- o get :target-slot working
- o implement :retrieval :immediate
-
- LOOP
- o should work with object queries as well as functional ones
-
- >> 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
-

-NOTES ABOUT THE BACKENDS
-
-MYSQL
-
-drop-index: requires a table to be specified with the :from keyword parameter
-views: mysql does not support views
-queries: nested subqueries are not supported
-
-SQLITE
+* Test bigint type
+* :db-constraint tests
+* test *db-auto-sync*
+* for-each-row macro
+* universal-time
+* owner phrases for postgresql and oracle backends
+* test of large table with large numbers of rows, greater than 2x the number of
+ rows (200) returned by the oracle backend at a time
+* test mixed case table identifiers and column identifiers
+
+COMMONSQL INCOMPATIBILITY
+
+ o doesn't support CHAR and NUMBER types as shown on CREATE-TABLE reference page
+ o (string n) => VARCHAR(n) rather than CHAR(n)
+ o userenv (Oracle specific but deprecated in Oracle 9)
+
+VARIANCES FROM COMMONSQL
+
+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.
+
+OPTIMIZATIONS
+
+* Revisit result-type list creation, perhaps caching
+
+POSSIBLE EXTENSIONS
+
+* extend large object support to databases beyond postgresql, improve large object api
+* add support for prepared statements
+* port Oracle backend to UFFI
-create-view: column-list parameter not supported
