Uhm... what is an eligible query?

Are you changing the behaviour of the current cursor class or
introducing a new one? I'd go most definitely for the second, as I'm
afraid the first would break a lot of the existing usage.

In particular, what I'd like to see is a protocol ISQLParam, to live
together with the current ISQLQuote, in order to create a clear
distinction between the capabilities of the two cursors and avoid
bloating the current adapters interface.

As a reference, here is the original message of mine, highlighting
some of the features we may get by splitting the two protocols:
