Someone else recently reported problems with www-sql. I downloaded it
and took a quick look, but didn't see any obvious reason why it wouldn't
work. I don't really have the time or interest to actually play with
it, though. If you want to dig into this question and find out exactly
*why* it's not working, perhaps we can do something about it.
