 * 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
 * universal-time 
+* owner phrases for postgresql and oracle backends

 VARIANCES FROM COMMONSQL
 
-UPDATE-OBJECT-JOINS:
- Rather than simply reading the values for each
- object, to meet CommonSQL spec need to generate a single
- query to read values for all objects, up to max-len count.
-
-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. 
+CLSQL starts with in transaction AUTOCOMMIT mode. To begin a transaction,
+START-TRANSACTION has to be called.
 
 OPTIMIZATIONS
  
-* Revisit result-type list creation,perhaps caching

 POSSIBLE EXTENSIONS
 
-* port Oracle backend to UFFI
-* large object support 
+* extend large object support to databases beyond postgresql, improve large object api
 * add support for prepared statements
+* port Oracle backend to UFFI
