Esql

Reservations

All symbol names to the form _esql_* are reserved for symbol names.

Esql will sometimes require variables to store intermediate values, these will always start with the prefix _esql_.

For project contributors

Structure

The esql implementation follows a very basic polymorphic model. The base class is class Database, this is what the Sqlite implementation inherits from and what subsequent databases should too.

Ideas to explore

• adding unsafe instructions / precocessing to turn of validation and become syntax sugar only
• struct unpacking
• table format validation
