- Execute arbitrary SQL statements;
- Retrieve results in a row-by-row cursor fashion.
LuaSQL is free software and uses the same license as Lua 5.1.

LuaSQL 2.x
Version 2.1 and 2.0 were redesigned by Roberto Ierusalimschy, André Carregal and Tomás Guisasola as part of the Kepler Project. The implementation was coded by Tomás Guisasola, Eduardo Quintão, Thiago Ponte, Fabio Mascarenhas and Danilo Tuler, with many contributions from Michael Broughton, Tiago Dionizio, Leonardo Godinho, Pedro Maia, Klaus Ripke, Michael Roth and others.
LuaSQL 1.0
LuaSQL was originally designed by Pedro Miller Rabinovitch and Roberto Ierusalimschy. The first implementation was compatible with Lua 4.0a. Many modifications were made but not distributed by Diego Nehab (ODBC), Carlos Cassino, Tomás Guisasola and Eduardo Quintão (PostgreSQL).
LuaSQL development was sponsored by Fábrica Digital, FINEP and CNPq.
