the nci functions. i'd like him to show what he's written so far and 
give his comments

Harry, if you're OK with this, go ahead and check it in. If you don't 
have checkin privs, grab a perl.org account and we'll get you some.

Just something to bear in mind:

Please do not assume anything about this code with regards to its
suitability as a driver etc. I only did it because Dan wanted something
to ease the pain of using libpq via Parrot. It does this in _areas_ but 
has not really been tested yet, its a bit of a mess as it stands at
the moment but works for selects.

It is probably OK to use it to play with or learn IMCC and to see how to
use the NCI interface but none of it will become production code!
Some of the IMCC guru's may have some questions as to its suitability to 
learn anything from ;-)

I have an account username hjackson. Where is it going to go in the tree?

I will try and get it tidied up a bit and check it in, do you want 
insert/update to be fully working as well. For those of you thinking its 
a silly question ;-) trust me it's not as straight forward as you might 
think operation ;-).

I believe you want this for a demo (your post 12/02/03 18:35 ) What sort 
of thing is it for?
