Re: Call for Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2012: Project ideas?

I would like to see 2 features which I've found useful in other SQL
engines.

1. The ability to create global variables. The syntax is usually
something like

CREATE VARIABLE 'foo' integer;

There could be 1-n of these create.

2.

The ability for the system to automatically called a stored procedure
called INIT if it is available. This would trigger each time a user
logs in. It allow for global variables to be setup or call any other
initialization processes that need to be done to setup the environment.
