The following comparison was added to the readme file.

ob-sql-mode :
- is very simple : forward the sql source through `sql-redirect'
- has a test suite
- but gives clunky output
- no :results table
- sql client shell commands messes up output
- prompt again for connection parameters when restarting a session

ob-sql-session :
- handle large results
- has :results tables
- accept header variables (:var)
- accept sql client shell commands
- keep login parameters
- prompt only for blank connection parameters
- can use `with-environment-variables'
- provide some more tests

To be clear, this makes 3 implementations of SQL support for Org Babel 
that I know of:

1. The built-in Org Babel SQL support, aka ob-sql, documented at 
<https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-sql.html>

2. ob-sql-mode, hosted at <https://github.com/nikclayton/ob-sql-mode>, 
which advertises itself as "an alternative backend for Org-Babel SQL SRC 
blocks that uses sql-mode to evaluate the query instead of Org-Babel's 
built-in SQL backends."

3. Your new ob-sql-session library.

You've mentioned how your library compares to ob-sql-mode, but how does 
it compare to the built-in ob-sql library?

Thanks,
Adam

Here is a comparison with ob-sql-mode

ob-sql-session exists is for session support, which is in the TODOs
of ob-sql.

- ob-sql command execution relies on org-babel-eval
   (→ process-file → call-process).

- ob-sql-session runs an inferior process (in which
   sqli-interactive-mode can be activated when needed).
   The process output is filtered (e.g. results and prompts).
   When a session is demanded, this shell stays open for further commands
   and can keep a state (typically, when given special SQL commands).

ob-sql-session adapts sql-connect of sql.el by declaring
ob-sql-connect, in order to prompt only for missing connection
parameters.

- ob-sql defines org-babel-sql-dbstring-[engine]
    to be provided on a shell command line.

- likewise, ob-sql-session has to define
    - a connection string,
    - the prompt,
    - and the terminal command prefix
      for a every supported SQL client shell (or "engines")

- ob-sql-session requires sql.el.
   With the above defined, it should be compatible
   with most database of the sql.el's zoo. maybe.

Phil

Have you considered integrating it into ob-sql itself?
If not, what are the obstacles?

Hello Ihor,

yes I have. It grows ob-sql by approximately 300 lines.
There are rooms for improvements.
https://github.com/flintforge/ob-sql-session/blob/main/ob-sql.el

Current status :
- added support of :sessions to ob-sql.el, by merging ob-sql-session.el
- restored support for sqlite (even if there is ob-sqlite.el)
- added composite types for options
- moved options from org-babel to a new group org-babel-sql

TODO :
- use `org-babel-prep-session'
- verify headers and columns options
- check use and storage of :dbconnection
- minimize writings of temporary files
- Tests

Cheers,

Phil
