ANN: MkSQL release 0a0

[Gordon McMillan]

The first alpha release of MkSQL is here:

  http://www.mcmillan-inc.com/mksqlintro.html

What is it?
    MkSQL is a Python package which implements a SQL 
    front end to the MetaKit database. It implements 
    a large subset of the SQL 2 (aka SQL 92) standard, 
    and comes with a Python DBI version 2 interface.

Prerequisites:
    Python 2.1 (or later). 
    MetaKit 2.4 including the metakit.py wrapper. 
    mx.TextTools from the egenix mxBase package. 
    (Links on page referenced above).

More Details:
    MkSQL can be used to query or update any existing 
    MetaKit database which has a relational structure. 
    Basically that means that subviews are ignored.

    In addition, if you use MkSQL to define your 
    database structure, MkSQL will enforce integrity 
    constraints on all update, insert and delete 
    statements.

    Note that MkSQL is not a database server. MetaKit 
    is an embedded database, and MkSQL does nothing to 
    change that.
