Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)iskon.hr&gt; writes in xemacs-review(a)xemacs.org: O.K. Good idea. I want to write at least one manual example showing how to do it from scratch. In the application I am currently writing, three very large tables need to be loaded from text files, two from the same set of data. While I'm loading two tables simultaneously, I am using two COPY IN operations over two separate database connections. ... Cool. It might also be that my backend inspires someone to do a DBI interface in the first place. I asked for database code for years, but never got anything beyond a pre-alpha doesn't-quite-work-yet state, that never had library type support. At any rate, programming it has restored an interest in XEmacs which I had thought was completely dead.
