;; Converts an orgtbl to a sequence of SQL insertion commands.
;; Table cells are quoted and escaped very conservatively.

;;; Code:

(defun orgtbl-to-sqlinsert (table params)
  "Convert the orgtbl-mode TABLE to SQL insert statements.
TABLE is a list, each entry either the symbol `hline' for a horizontal
separator line, or a list of fields for that line.
PARAMS is a property list of parameters that can influence the conversion.

Names and strings are modified slightly by default.  Single-ticks
are doubled as per SQL's standard mechanism.  Backslashes and
dollar signs are deleted.  And tildes are changed to spaces.
These modifications were chosed for use with TeX.  See
ORGTBL-SQL-STRIP-AND-QUOTE.

Supports all parameters from ORGTBL-TO-GENERIC.  New to this function
are:

:sqlname   The name of the database table; defaults to the name of the
           target region.

:nowebname If not nil, used as a wrapping noweb fragment name.

The most important parameters of ORGTBL-TO-GENERIC for SQL are:

:splice    When set to t, return only insert statements, don't wrap
           them in a transaction.  Default is nil.

:tstart, :tend
           The strings used to begin and commit the transaction.

:hfmt      A function that gathers the quoted header names into a
           dynamically scoped variable HDRLIST.  Probably should
           not be changed by the user.

The general parameters :skip and :skipcols have already been applied when
this function is called."
