FYI: That component was an attempt to create a specialized SQL parser
for the OFBiz entity engine. The idea was to use a standardized SQL
string that the parser would convert to entity conditions and Delegator
calls. So, you could use the same SQL string on any database.
You are correct - the component was never finished, and I agree that it
should be moved to the attic.

Hi all,
I would like to move to Attic (i.e. remove from the trunk) the
framework/sql component and the entity classes dependent on it (i.e. the
java package org.ofbiz.entity.sql): if memory serves, no client code (from
applications and specialpurpose) ever used this API and I have never heard
about questions about this in the dev or user lists, nor Jira tickets
created for bugs or enhancements in this area; these are all indications
that this code may be a dead experiment; the last significant commit is in
2010 and seems to indicate an incomplete feature: "FEATURE: Start of union
support; parsing isn't tested yet.".
I doubt that removing it will have any impact.
Any objections?
Best regards,
Jacopo
