-- | Relational optimiser and code generator
--   
--   The library provides FFI bindings to the Pathfinder relational
--   optimiser and code generator. Specifically, the library allows for
--   
--   <ul>
--   <li>optimisation of table algebra (a variant of relational algebra)
--   expressions</li>
--   <li>and compilation of table algebra expressions into SQL:1999
--   queries</li>
--   </ul>
--   
--   Note that the C source bundle of Pathfinder is also included in this
--   package. The C sources are automatically built along with the Haskell
--   FFI bindings. There is no need to download and install Pathfinder
--   separately.
--   
--   More information about Pathfinder is available from the following web
--   page:
