Using usql as a library

[jaxxstorm]

First of all, props on an amazing project!

I'd like to utilize some of the awesome here in my own golang app. The idea is that I could wrap around usql and utilize it to drop me into a sql prompt.

Is this possible, short of shelling out to the usql binary? Which functions/methods could I use?

There's not a whole lot of logic in usql that is specific to it. It uses chzyer/readline for doing the "readline" stuff. usql isn't much different (yet) from their multiline example.

I'm in the middle of making usql much more modular in general, and will try to make it reusable by other packages, but it's not at that state yet.

Please check out the latest version of usql, specifically the usql/handler package. It's not 100% modular yet, but I will in the next week or so refactor all the actual SQL stuff out of that package completely.

Amazing turnaround! thanks!

Well, the work on this revision had been in process for the last few days. Have been trying to make it do "some parsing" to better execute queries / behave more like psql. Not 100% there yet, but much much closer now.
