Thanks.
I opened up ob-sql.el and read the code to see if I can figure it out.
I think I have answered my first question. I wrote the following and hit
C-c C-c and I got the result set back.
#+srcname: sampsql
#+begin_src sql :engine mysql :cmdline -h hostname -u username -pmypass -D
dbname
select * from tablename;
#+end_src
regarding my 2nd question (reading orgtables), I am thinking that one can't
read orgtables in the same way as you read a db table. But you can use an
org table to extract data snippets to pass as variables to a sql or build a
dynamic sql. Is my understanding correct?
I was also experimenting on passing variables. I modified the above example
as shown below but I did not get any results
#+srcname: sampsql
#+begin_src sql :engine mysql :cmdline -h hostname -u username -pmypass -D
dbname :var table="tablename"
select * from $table;
#+end_src
