This would be great in working with SQL, as using messages to type in stuff is a little cumbersome, as creating them requires edit mode, while this...
Cool, you can test it for me ;)
I'd be happy to... One thing I noticed when playing with this, is that it allows for ',' and ';' characters. They are escaped in the output. I was planning on testing this tonight to see exactly what sorts of objects there are in the list.
At the same time, this might require that there be two different methods of inputting the SQL to send to the server, as the version that Jamie has is expecting everything in "message" format, which assumes that ',' have to be reinserted when an SQL statement contains comma's.
I think that the commas and semi-colons are escaped, so they can be sent around via the Pd message system and survive AFAIK. So [text] would probably work well for writing in queries by hand.

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. - Thomas Jefferson
