If you:

	1. Have a SQL database
	2. Quote your query sql= parameter
	3. Use [sql-pos 0] to access the return value

then it will work. You can use this to test it, as I did:

[query sql="select count(*) from country" list=1]
[sql-pos 0] countries
[/query]

which gives:

	197 countries

It will select all of them. It would make sense to use a "limit"
parameter if your DB supports it.
