I agree, as long as someone is writing the interfaces down and publishes 
them on a Wiki. Then the discussion is in my mind constructive. But look at 
the "Graphics" thread; it quickly died out, and if I would not have sent a 
mail to interested parties nothing would have happened. Therefore it almost 
became an unconstructive discussion.

I agree with that fully. So let's not talk about SQL Methods at all then, 
but just about the server connection API.
