however Ystok SQL
(http://www.lispworks.com/success-stories/ystok-tournament.html) does offer
foriegn-key constraint specification with on-update and on-delete policy
specification (they offer kinda same interface as Lispworks'). so i think
_their_ SQL wrappers can be used not only for testing, but for real work..
