I sent this to BÁRTHÁZI only instead of BÁRTHÁZI and the list as well. So
here's a forward of what I sent and he replied to.

It would be nicer to say:

But native xml parsing is better, I think. :)
Anyway, it's possible to write:
$a=sql<select * from table>;
If not already possible, it would be neat to be able to define your own
quote blocks. Such as being able to define how to parse the below lines:
$result = q:sql/SELECT * FROM table/;
for q:sql/SELECT * FROM table WHERE id=$id/ {
say $_.id ~ ' -> ' ~ $_.value;
}
Or someone could write a module for P6SQL ? (Pardon me for not remembering
exactly how HEREDOCs work in P6)
p6sql_query "SQLPROC">>
$result = SELECT * FROM table
FOREACH ROW IN $result AS $field
SAY $field.id " -> " $field.value
END FOREACH
SQLPROC
Or maybe I'm getting a bit too crazy.
