Please give me your opinion. My plan is not yet the concrete,
but a few of my new plan are:
1. Improvement of function of an HTML output.
exec_sql -H -O "<TABLE option>" -O "*:<TH option1>" -O "name:<TH option2>" -O "*:<TD option3>" -O
"addr:<TDoption4>" -F "name:<font color='0000ff' size=4>%-7.7s</font>" -F "addr:<fonr
color='ff0000'>%s</font>" "select * from test where ..."
2. Snapshot cursor operation. exec_sql -c cur "select * from test where ..." exec_sql "open cur" exec_sql "fetch
incur into :r1, :r2" echo "r1=$r1 r2=$r2" exec_sql "close cur" # Declare cursor operation is already implemented.

I think that it is necessary, because in the inside of the
double quotes, it can be used $variable and it is possible to
describe the SQL statement in the multiple line.
ex) exec_sql "select * from test where name='$DATA' and addr='$ADATA'"

I use alias too, but I do not know the method for aliasing
double quotes. ex) alias E='exec_sql'
(Shell program) ----------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/local/bin/bash function E { exec_sql
"$@"} ----------------------------------------------------- (KUBO Takehiro taught me this method.)
