+//! field to [`FlightService`](crate::flight_service_server::FlightService) endpoints

+//!
+//! This module contains:
+//! 1. The [tonic] generated protobuf definitions for FlightSQL messages such as [`CommandStatementQuery`]
+//! 2. Helpers for for encoding and decoding such messages: [`Any`] and [`Command`]
+//! 3. A [`FlightSqlServiceClient`](client::FlightSqlServiceClient) for interacting with FlightSQL servers.
+//! 4. A [`FlightSqlService`](server::FlightSqlService) to help building FlightSQL servers from [`FlightService`](crate::flight_service_server::FlightService).
