( Добрый вечер и добро пожаловать, Владимир!  Здесь в Пеннсильвании  
падает лёгкий снег. )

Here's a hacked-up excerpt from some of my recent code, adapted from  
David Van Horn's Riverbot [1] code.

   (require (lib "string.ss") ;; for `eval-string'
            (lib "etc.ss")    ;; for `evcase' syntax
            ; (lib "date.ss")
            ; (all-except (lib "date.ss") date->string)
            (lib "match.ss")
            (lib "pretty.ss")
            (lib "list.ss" "srfi" "1")
            ; (lib "time.ss" "srfi" "19")
            (prefix srfi:19: (lib "19.ss" "srfi"))
            (all-except (lib "13.ss" "srfi") string-upcase string- 
downcase string-titlecase)
            "db-connection.ss"
            (prefix mysql- (lib "mysqlclient.ss" "mysqlclient")))

I was hoping to give you a pointer to the right page in Help Desk  
explaining all of the options for require, but the state of my  
documentation is in flux since I'm using the experimental v3.99 and  
the Refresh All Manuals link isn't working today. [2]

The syntax in DrScheme v4 will get simpler.  See Matthew Flatt's  
post:  http://tinyurl.com/2kutmz

  ]

There are PostgreSQL and SQLite interfaces to DrScheme at PLaneT ( http://planet.plt-scheme.org/ 
  ).  I love PostgreSQL, but I needed MySQL because that's all one of  
my ISPs had, which led me to DVH's code.  I don't know about ODBC  
connectivity from Scheme.

[2] PLT gurus:  v3.99 Refresh All Manuals did this:

Error Evaluating Scheme Code

((dynamic-require (quote (lib "refresh-manuals.ss" "help")) (quote  
refresh-manuals)))

compile: bad syntax; function application is not allowed, because no # 
%app syntax transformer is bound in: ((dynamic-require (quote (lib  
"refresh-manuals.ss" "help")) (quote refresh-manuals)))
