DOCUMENTATION TO DO LIST 1. Variances from CommonSQL - Ideally, this will be extremely minimal - The SQL syntax state functions are macros in CLSQL. 2. Underdocumented CommonSQL features: - Retrieval immediate - SQL operators: ||, SUBSTR, MINUS, INTERSECT, UNION, NVL 2. CLSQL extensions to CommonSQL - RESULT-TYPES, FIELD-NAMES keywords for SELECT and QUERY - New types such as wall-time, boolean, and bigint - SQL operators: group-by, limit, not-null, ==, is, having, the, uplike, sql-view-class, coalesce, except (just from a quick scan of operations.lisp) - FDDL: list-views, view-exists-p, list-indexes, list-table-indexes, index-exists-p, create-sequence, drop-sequence, list-sequences, sequence-exists-p, sequence-next, sequence-last, set-sequence-position - OODML: *db-auto-sync* - SELECT: additional keyword arguments accepted include :LIMIT, :OFFSET, :INNER-JOIN and :ON. - SQL-RECORDING-P: also accepts :both and :either values for the TYPE parameter. - DROP-TABLE/DROP-VIEW/DROP-INDEX: keyword arg :if-does-not-exist. - DROP-INDEX: keyword arg :on (for MySQL). - DEF-VIEW-CLASS: DB-CONSTRAINTS and DB-TYPE slot options. - CREATE-TABLE: keyword args :TRANSACTIONS (for MySQL) and :CONSTRAINTS description arg accepts optional DB-TYPE string. 4. Documenting lower level, non-CommonSQL functions (some of this is already done). - connection pools - database-query-result-set 5. Notes on any peculiarities of each of the backends (e.g., unsupported features, notable extensions etc.). - MYSQL drop-index: requires a table to be specified with the :from parameter views: mysql does not support views queries: nested subqueries are not supported syntax: doesn't support the sql concatenation operator (||). doesn't support INTERSECT/EXCEPT set operations. create-table: the transactions keyword arg controls whether the created table is an InnoDB table (supporting transactions) or not. - SQLITE connection: specifying ":memory:" gives you an SQLite database in RAM. create-view: column-list parameter not supported syntax: doesn't support the sql SUBSTRING operator.
