Did mean for this to go to -patches? Or did you send it here because
it still preliminary..
Three comments...
1. Can we have this as a module pleeeze?
2.
Note: This entry point is provided for completeness, but its use is
not
recommended. The preferred way to delete connections is to let the Emacs
garbage collection mechanism do it.
Isn't this bad in the same way that closing files by finalization is?
3. The harlequin M-BS xanalysis common lisp SQL bindings allow
iterating over the result of a query using map- and do- like
functions. IIRC they do this not by downloading all the results but
by transparently creating a database cursor[1] for you. That would
be very cool.

Footnotes:
[1] I think cursor is the correct term.
