- Lacks comprehensive error handling for MySQL, including connection drops and reconnection.
- Does not support multiple column primary keys.
- Datatypes are not managed internally, requiring attention in code and database.
- Database communication is ISO-based, without UTF-8 adjustments for pointer/string arithmetic.
