I just spotted this on FishEye ... an example native SQL query . You'll need source from SVN or a recent download from the build server - more recent than patch 5551 by mzywitza on 17 February 2009. This is very nice, allowing parameterized SQL without the hacks that I used (you can search here for some of my old blogs on the subject).
My experiences with computer programming, using c#, Mono, Ruby, Rails, SQL Server 2000, and MySQL.
