This archive includes documentation of the query schema and the
qstore server, along with some examples of stored queries.

The query schema stores database queries in an abstract form
within the database itself.

The qstore server loads queries from the query schema, constructs
the corresponding SQL, and executes the queries.

Table of contents:

qstore.odt

	Documentation of the qstore methods.

query_dump.sh

	A shell script used to generate query_dump.sql, using the
	pg_dump utility.  I include this script mostly for my own
	convenience in case I want to update this archive, but you may
	find it useful to know exactly where the sql script came from.
	(Note: after generating the sql script I manually edited it to
	remove the loading of the datatype table.)

query_dump.sql

	An sql script to install a collection of examples.  The script
	assumes that the query schema exists but has no data in it,
	except for the datatypes in query.datatype as installed by
	the installation script.

query_schema.odt

	Documentation of the query schema.

	You're looking at it.

stored_queries.txt

	SQL queries generated from the queries loaded by query_dump.sql.

test_qstore.txt

	Documentation of the test_qstore utility.  The same documentation
	appears in a comment block at the top of test_qstore.c.

The sql script loads 25 example queries, with query ids in the range 1-25.  
These are the queries I used to develop and test qstore.  I used
the test_qstore utility to generate each query, and then pasted the
output into stored_queries.txt.

The queries themselves are not particularly useful, and often don't
even make much sense from an application standpoint.  They are just
exercises in the generation of syntax.  In any case they all run
successfully within psql (except for query # 12, which features
an unsubstituted bind variable).
