-GENERAL
+TESTS TO ADD
-* test on (and port to) openmcl and mcl. SCL no longer affordable to
- individuals;
-* implement remaining functions for CLSQL AODBC backend;
-* port Oracle and ODBC backend to UFFI.
+* 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*
+* test :retrieval :deferred joins
COMMONSQL SPEC
* Missing:
- RECONNECT
- CACHE-TABLE-QUERIES
- *CACHE-TABLE-QUERIES-DEFAULT*
- *DEFAULT-UPDATE-OBJECTS-MAX-LEN*
UPDATE-OBJECT-JOINS
- INSTANCE-REFRESHED
-
* Incompatible
-
- >> Initialisation and connection
-
- CONNECT
- o should accept string as connection spec
-
- DISCONNECT
- o should accept string as connection spec
-
- INITIALIZE-DATABASE-TYPE
- o should initialise appropriate backend
-
- STATUS
- o what is the behaviour in CommonSQL (esp :full parameter)?
-
-
>> The functional sql interface
SELECT
- o should accept keyword arg :refresh and call INSTANCE-REFRESHED
- o should return (values result-list field-names)
- o should coerce values returned as strings to appropriate lisp type
-
- QUERY
- o should return (values result-list field-names)
- o should coerce values returned as strings to appropriate lisp type
-
- LIST-ATTRIBUTE-TYPES
- o should return list of (attribute datatype precision scale nullable)
-
-
- >> The object-oriented sql interface
+ o keyword arg :refresh should function as advertised
DEF-VIEW-CLASS
- o get :target-slot working
- o implement :retrieval :immediate
-
- LIST-CLASSES
- o keyword arg :root-class should do something (portable)
-
- DO-QUERY,MAP-QUERY,LOOP
- o should work with object queries as well as functional ones
-
+ o Rework functioning of :immediate to be conformant. It
+ works as expect with target-slot, but not without target-slot
>> Symbolic SQL syntax
o variables (e.g., table identifiers) should be instantiated at runtime
+OPTIMIZATIONS
+
+* Revisit result-type list creation,perhaps caching
+
+POSSIBLE EXTENSIONS
+
+* port Oracle backend to UFFI
+* large object support
+* add support for prepared statements
NOTES ABOUT THE BACKENDS
MYSQL
drop-index: requires a table to be specified with the :from keyword parameter
-transactions: don't seem to work
views: mysql does not support views
-queries: nested subqueries do not seem to work
+queries: nested subqueries are not supported
