I'd be happy to... One thing I noticed when playing with this, is that
it allows for ',' and ';' characters. They are escaped in the output.
I was planning on testing this tonight to see exactly what sorts of
objects there are in the list.

At the same time, this might require that there be two different
methods of inputting the SQL to send to the server, as the version
that Jamie has is expecting everything in "message" format, which
assumes that ',' have to be reinserted when an SQL statement contains
comma's.

Thanks,

Mike
