HISTORY
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2006-jan-20  First release
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This package provides a convenient way of writing SQL statements
using s-expressions. 

  > (require (planet "sqlite.ss" ("soegaard" "sqlite.plt" 1 0))
  > (sql (SELECT ALL (name) FROM (personnel JOIN salaries ON name)))
  "SELECT ALL name FROM personnel JOIN salaries ON name"

The SQL statements SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE, and REPLACE 
as well as SQL expressions are supported.

The SQL syntax is checked at compile time in order to give
precise error messages:

  > (sql (SELECT ALL (name) FROM (personnel JOIN salaries ON JOIN name)))
  [bug icon] SELECT: <table-list> ::= 
       (<table> [<join-op> <table>  [ON <expr>][USING (<id-list>)]]*  
       exptected in: (JOIN salaries ON JOIN name)

All testing were done with the SQLite backend by Jay McCarthy and 
Noel Welsh's.
