IMMEDIATE ISSUES

update TODO
4
 - look in to making query and command's _handle a shared_ptr, so that query
5
   and command classes can be copied.

 - rename _bind_index and _column_index to _next_*

9
 - change the transaction_guard interface so you can dereference it to get to
10
   its transaction and the transactions take care of not rolling back or
11
   committing when they already have done (as well as resetting in-progress
12
   queries).

 - turn on extended errcodes in open() and handle them in sqlite_error

 - query::prepare() isn't being called during construction (from

17
   basic_statement's constructor)

19
 - add columns() to row that returns a boost::tuple of various types so multple
20
   columns can be fetched at once (look in to using BOOST_PP_ITERATE macro)

22
 - add a row::column() that can take a column name. This is nexessary when
23
   doing a "SELECT *" and you don't know the column indicies. To implement
24
   this, the first time it is called, a column-name-to-index lookup would have
25
   to be built. This should be done in the query, not the row. This means that
26
   the row will have to know it's query (currently is copies its _handle) to be
27
   able to call column_index() on it. Is this a problem?

 - use sqlite3_db_mutex() to provide extended error information during
27 by edam
update TODO
30
   sqlite_error construction. The general procedure would be to lock the db
31
   mutex, perform some sqlite3 command, check the error code, throw an
32
   sqlite_error (whilst obtaining extended error info) and then unlock the db
33
   mutex. Two options:

   	- a macro would be simple

35
	- a templated safe-calling object (passing the comman's arg types as
36
      template params) may be overkill

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

LONGER TERM IDEAS

27 by edam
update TODO
41
 - make basic_statement and database keep a shared pointer to the database
42
   handle so the classes can be made copyable. The wrappers around the handle
43
   (implemented in sqlite::detail) can clean them up after use. This will also
44
   make the implementation of rows (to get round the forced non-dependency of
45
   rows on querys) a little easier to swallow.
46
    - A similar wrapper should be created for statement handles, making
47
      basic_statements, querys and commands copyable. Could weak_ptrs to these
48
      also be used in the database's list active querys?

 - expand sqlite_error - perhaps use boost::system_error (see
51
   boost/asio/error.hpp for an example of extending system_error)
52
53
 - see if we can #include "sqlite.h" in to a namespace.

55
	Pros:
18 by edam
updaed TODO, fixed a comment
56
	 - we better encapsulate the library
57
	 - we can reuse "sqlite3" as a namespace

- added NEWS
58
	Cons:
27 by edam
update TODO
59
	 - makes access to real sqlite stuff awkward to sqlite3cc users, but does
60
       this matter? they can't access database._handle anyway!
61
     - potential incompatibility when linking to libraries that also link
62
       against sqlite
