Hi Mark,

reading through the tutorial, it seems that it's possible to emit SQL
statements from MarkLogic using MLSQL, but not the other way around,
i.e. MarkLogic receiving SQL statements from a third party application
and returning results (in XML or any other format).

Please correct me if I misunderstood. I'd love to avoid reinventing
any existing wheels.

cheers,
Jakob.
