[Interest] QtSql database insertion issues...

[Bo Thorsen]

Karl, don't worry. the SQL module is not going anywhere. Jason is right 
in the sense that it's considered done. He's wrong in thinking this has 
anything to do with NoSQL.

NoSQL isn't emerging as a the SQL killer that NoSQL guys believe it is. 
Instead it's a different tool that has other use patterns.
