-GENERAL 
+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.
+* Test bigint type
+* :db-constraint tests
+* test *db-auto-sync* 
+* for-each-row macro
+* universal-time 
+* owner phrases for postgresql and oracle backends
+* test of large table with large numbers of rows, greater than 2x the number of
+  rows (200) returned by the oracle backend at a time
+* test mixed case table identifiers and column identifiers
+
+COMMONSQL INCOMPATIBILITY
+
+   o doesn't support CHAR and NUMBER types as shown on CREATE-TABLE reference page
+   o (string n) => VARCHAR(n) rather than CHAR(n)
+   o userenv (Oracle specific but deprecated in Oracle 9) 
+ 
+VARIANCES FROM COMMONSQL
+
+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. 
+
+OPTIMIZATIONS
+ 
+* Revisit result-type list creation, perhaps caching
+
+POSSIBLE EXTENSIONS
+
+* extend large object support to databases beyond postgresql, improve large object api
+* add support for prepared statements
+* port Oracle backend to UFFI
 
-* test on (and port to) scl, mcl and openmcl; 
-* implement remaining functions for CLSQL AODBC backend; 
-* port UncommonSQL ODBC and Oracle backends to CLSQL.

-
- >> 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

-         intersect 
-         between
-         userenv
-
-      o variables (e.g., table identifiers) should be instantiated at runtime

-NOTES ABOUT THE BACKENDS
-
-MYSQL 
-
-drop-index:   requires a table to be specified with the :from keyword parameter
-transactions: don't seem to work  
-views:        mysql does not support views  
-queries:      nested subqueries do not seem to work 
-
-SQLITE 
-
-create-view: column-list parameter not supported
