i would think that rather than use an adt, one would want to make the language the communication's protocol. it seems so straightforward to just send formatted sql or pl/sql to the engine and get normally formatted output. one could just con to the engine and type away for testing. even if you've degenerated the fs to a pipe like /net/tcp/nn, it's still quite useful to see who is connected and you can import the connection easily. this isn't too far from what sql*net does, except they need to deal with sockets. they may also do wierd formatting of the data stream. - erik
