[Farrago-developers] sqlline source code maintenance (eigenchange 10914)

[John V. S. <js...@gm...>]

This has always been a pain.  Since the project has been inactive in 
Sourceforge for quite a while now, I've forked it into 
perforce.eigenbase.org, and written up instructions for maintenance:

http://pub.eigenbase.org/wiki/SqllineDocs

For now, I kept the overall structure fairly close to how it was before, 
but there are some optimizations we can make if anyone is going to spend 
a lot of time with enhancements.  I also ran Jalopy on the source code.

As part of the change, I also enhanced sqlline with a new

!set rowlimit 100

So you can limit the number of rows coming back from a query (like the 
limit clause in MySQL).  It uses Statement.setMaxRows, which was already 
implemented in Farrago JDBC.

!set rowlimit 0

means unlimited (same as the JDBC convention).
