So Ian Eure mistrusts my code because he thinks I don’t read documentation1. Nice. In fact, I did read that page before I implemented db mode. "Fantastic" I thought, "just what I need".
(sql-mode) (sybase-mode)
select count(*) from person go
And what is the response from emacs?
No SQL process started.
Well gee, so much for the documentation2. At this point I figure that feature doesn’t work correctly and implement my own code, the core of which takes around 10 minutes.
Please understand that I’m not blaming the sql-mode author. It is probably obvious to him (and others) that you need to start the database before you start sql-mode. And I couldn’t help him improve his documentation beforehand either as I didn’t know what the problem was.
1. What is true is that I actually don’t read it particularly well.
2. Yes, I’m aware now that it only works in the opposite order.
