which is used to interact with instances of Microsoft's SQL Server.

Name

A SQL statement request can be sent.
The response token for column metadata can be parsed (for a few simple datatypes)
Work is in progress to parse the row token (again for a few datatypes.
Once this is more or less working, tedious might be useable, after a fashion, for very simple use cases.
