% Gathering of various facilities regarding the management of SQL databases from
% Erlang.
%
% The current implementation is mostly geared towards the use of SQLite3 (an
% optional dependency), through the erlang-sqlite3 binding (see
% https://github.com/alexeyr/erlang-sqlite3).
%
% See sql_support_test.erl for the corresponding test.
%
-module(sql_support).

% For the various types defined:
-include("sqlite3.hrl").


% Implementation notes:
%
% To manage SQL databases, we rely on SQLite3 and the erlang-sqlite3 binding,
% expected to be already built and installed, in ~/Software/erlang-sqlite3.
%
-export([ start/0, stop/0 ]).




% General support section, regarding the SQL service itself.


% Starts (checks and inits) the SQL (in practice: SQLite3) service support.

	% We have to secure the erlang-sqlite3 binding, nevertheless nothing special
	% is needed (ex: finding ebin/sqlite3.beam results in finding automatically
	% priv/sqlite3_drv.so).
	%
	%io:format( "Starting SQL support, using SQLite3.~n").
	ok.


% Stops the SQL support.

-spec stop() -> void().
stop() ->
	%io:format( "Stopping SQL support.").
	ok.
