I'm interested in working on the port of Moira to use mSQL, so, can
I get a snapshot fo the current sources?
I've taken a closer look at mSQL, and it's going to be a while before it
could be used for Ingres. Problems:
* Only one key per table is supported
* Relational selects (i.e., involving more than one table) are
not supported.
I don't know when (or if) mSQL will be extended to handle these
features, but I sincerely hope it will --- it fills a very nice niche
halfway between a full-bore Ingres/Oracle/Sybase RDBMS and libdbm.a. I
just wish it had a few more features in the RDBMS direction.....
