DSL

• [DONE] rename using_bind_vars to bind
  • copy query "SELECT ..." bind (1, 2, 3) from "source" to "target"
• copy FOO from SOURCE to TARGET silently fails when no table exists in TARGET (filed chop-dbhi/dataexpress#42)
  • the right way is to add create TABLE_NAME

Questions

• How to lookup a single row?
  • Function could iterate and return a single row
• How to create a table if it does not already exist?
  • In the comments, it looks like a create will always drop a table first? That could be unexpected.
• Access the DbStore instance after being registered?
  • register store DbStore(properties) as "source" will create the store, but how do I access it afterwards?
    • get store "source"
