But does this mean that you won't welcome any other initiative or ideas
from other programmers?

Again, if two persons (groups) were working on this at the same time, then
you could take ideas from both, ditch one of the implementations and use
the other one's ideas in the remaining. Much faster development, and will

Why is this a first step? As I see it, SQL (as in the query language) is a
rather different thing than an "scripting language" or similar (read
"stored procedures").
