I agree with you here. The basic SQL database structure is simple.

You've uncovered my hidden agenda with guile having a database interface: to create libraries of queries, commands, etc. I want templates for common tasks, functions that are associated with each other, so instead of having to write sql you'd have a library of functions that work on databases in general, which can be optimized for certian databases, and which provide the functions to query a database in scheme... or better yet from any language that you've linked libguile into. I'd really like to have something like nextstep's (or whatever it's called now) database interface tool. But I'd like to be able to link it to any language. -- Peter C.
