I have more belief in a command interpreter with built in sql support. There
is already an Ada project for embeded sql in Ada. All we now need is for
some unsuspecting soul to start a project to create a santized version of
pl/sql which uses the result from the above mentioned project.

A command interpreter with sql and odbc could be THE next wave. It would be
something that would be instantly usable by a large number of people rather
than a hacker tool. A lot of people would want to use this for web and
database integration. It is a pity that I am useless at compiler design.
