-Fix postgresql-socket on Lispworks and CMUCL so that the
-socket stream uses a consistent element-type.
+GENERAL
+* port Oracle backend to UFFI.
+COMMONSQL SPEC
+
+* Missing:
+
+ UPDATE-OBJECT-JOINS
+
+* Incompatible
+
+
+ >> Initialisation and connection
+
+ STATUS
+ o what is the behaviour in CommonSQL (esp :full parameter)?
+
+
+ >> The functional sql interface
+
+ SELECT
+ o keyword arg :refresh should function as advertised
+ o should return (values result-list field-names)
+ o should coerce values returned as strings to appropriate lisp type
+
+ QUERY
+ o should coerce values returned as strings to appropriate lisp type
+ (except for SQLite interface, this works when :result-types is :auto).
+ Perhaps that should be the default?
+
+ >> The object-oriented sql interface
+
+ DEF-VIEW-CLASS
+ o get :target-slot working
+ o implement :retrieval :immediate
+
+ 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)
+
+ substr
+ some
+ order-by
+ times
+ nvl
+ null
+ distinct
+ except
+ intersect
+ between
+ userenv
+
+ o variables (e.g., table identifiers) should be instantiated at runtime
