Wow. I didn't even know those protocols where documented. But this is also a minor "flaw" in your approach: it is not usable for other DBs (especially commercial ones), so you will have to have the native client libraries around in order to implement access from Racket. So in some cases you are implementing a network protocol, in others you are calling a native client library.

Of course, this is all from my armchair... Kudos on your excellent work!
