// More about the application of COSS:
//
// A Table will be a QueryableCollection of Rows
// A Database will be a QueryableCollection of Tables
// (Currently Tables are not exported... maybe later.)
// Both will be queryable via the Query Service
//
// Other relations will be representable using the Relationship Service
// This includes primary/foreign keys and anything else :)
//
// GRANT/REVOKE can be supplied via the Security Service
//
// See a pattern here? The whole of SQL can be implemented by these services!
// The statements go through a parser. Queries and subqueries are passed to the
// database for processing. Returned items are handled appropriately:
//
// SELECT: return the items to the caller
// UPDATE: modify the items (direct)
// DELETE: call delete() on each Row (direct)
// GRANT/REVOKE: modify ACLs (via Security Service)
// ALTER: modify the items (direct) and/or the relations (via Relationship Service)
// etc.
//
// I'm not sure yet about LOCK and UNLOCK.
