-GENERAL 
-
-* test on (and port to) scl, mcl and openmcl; 
-* implement remaining functions for CLSQL AODBC backend; 
-* port UncommonSQL ODBC and Oracle backends to CLSQL.

+TESTS TO ADD
+
+* 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 SELECT caching
+* for-each-row macro

-
-    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)

-
-    LIST-ATTRIBUTE-TYPES

+OPTIMIZATIONS

+POSSIBLE EXTENSIONS
