I hereby take the pledge to try to help improve the proper access to  
the database. I also promise to put my scripts on the wiki (once I've  
finished fiddling).

I would like a backup plan though. How about a compile time option to  
open a socket that allows SQL queries and return the data? No  
validation and no support if you blow it up. Normal users won't have  
it but sad people like me can use it while they port their scripts over.

I don't have a testing machine and no VM's so when the change happens  
to -fixes I'll be stuck with whatever is in the python bindings until  
the next release or backport.

Cheers,
Tim.
