IMMEDIATE ISSUES
3
18 by edam
updaed TODO, fixed a comment
4
 - rename _bind_index and _column_index to _next_*
5
6
 - change the transaction_guard interface so you can dereference it to
7
   get to its transaction and the transactions take care of not
8
   rolling back or committing when they already have done (as well as
9
   resetting in-progress queries).
10
11
 - turn on extended errcodes in open() and handle them in sqlite_error
12
13
 - query::prepare() isn't being called during construction (form
14
   basic_statement's constructor)
15
16
 - add columns() to row that returns a boost::tuple of various types
17
   so multple columns can be fetched at once (look in to using
18
   BOOST_PP_ITERATE macro)
19
20
 - add a rom::column() that can take a column name. This is nexessary
21
   when doing a "SELECT *" and you don't know the column indicies. To
22
   implement this, the first time it is called, a column-name-to-index
23
   lookup would have to be built. This should be done in the query,
24
   not the row. This means that the row will have to know it's query
25
   (currently is copies its _handle) to be able to call column_index()
26
   on it. Is this a problem?
27
28
 - use sqlite3_db_mutex() to provide extended error information during
29
   sqlite_error construction. The general procedure would be to lock
30
   the db mutex, perform some sqlite3 command, check the error code,
31
   throw an sqlite_error (whilst obtaining extended error info) and
32
   then unlock the db mutex. Two options:
33
   	- a macro would be simple
34
	- a templated safe-calling object (passing the comman's arg types
35
      as template params) may be overkill

- made basic_statement::step() protected, for use by query and command only

LONGER TERM IDEAS
39
18 by edam
updaed TODO, fixed a comment
40
 - make basic_statement and database keep a shared pointer to the
41
   database handle so the classes can be made copyable. The wrappers
42
   around the handle (implemented in sqlite::detail) can clean them up
43
   after use. This will also make the implementation of rows (to get
44
   round the forced non-dependency of rows on querys) a little easier
45
   to swallow.
46
    - A similar wrapper should be created for statement handles,
47
      making basic_statements, querys and commands copyable. Could
48
      weak_ptrs to these also be used in the database's list active
49
      querys?
50
51
 - expand sqlite_error - perhaps use boost::system_error (see
52
   boost/asio/error.hpp for an example of extending system_error)
53
54
 - see if we can #include "sqlite.h" in to a namespace.

56
	Pros:
18 by edam
updaed TODO, fixed a comment
57
	 - we better encapsulate the library
58
	 - we can reuse "sqlite3" as a namespace

- added NEWS
59
	Cons:
18 by edam
updaed TODO, fixed a comment
60
	 - makes access to real sqlite stuff awkward to sqlite3cc users,
61
       but does this matter? they can't access database._handle
62
       anyway!
63
     - potential incompatibility when linking to libraries that also
64
       link against sqlite
