Ok.

Ok, motus and bouche cousue :-)

Sure ;-)

A "stagiaire", Nadji Gauthier, had written a SQL parser/printer quite
complete for "SELECT" queries. I asked him if I could add it to cameleon
and he agreed. I plan to use this library in dbforge: In addition to
describe the database schema (which is used to generate OCaml code to
access the tables, with typed functions), the user will be able to
give SQL (only "SELECT" by now) queries, and dbforge will also generate
code to execute these queries and return typed values. The point is
that the queries can be verified against the database schema *at compilation
time*, and when you modify the schema, you can be warned that some queries 
are now incorrect. Since queries are usually strings created by concatenation
(which is a big source of errors are runtime), this will prevent a lot
of bugs, I think.

Ok.
