-Fix postgresql-socket on Lispworks and CMUCL so that the
-socket stream uses a consistent element-type.
+GENERAL 
 
+* 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.
+* port postgresql-socket backend to OpenMCL

+ >> 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)    
+
+    LOOP 
+      o the extension is currently CMUCL specific

+
+ >> The object-oriented sql interface
+
+    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 
+
+
+ >> Symbolic SQL syntax 
+
+      o Complete sql expressions (see operations.lisp)
+

+
+      o variables (e.g., table identifiers) should be instantiated at runtime
