9 SQLPython is a command-line interface to Oracle databases. It is intended as an alternative to Oracle's
|
|
|
10 SQL\*Plus. For the most part, it can be used the same way SQL\*Plus would be used; this documentation
|
|
|
11 focuses on the places where SQLPython differs.

13 SQLPython was created by `Luca Canali <http://canali.web.cern.ch/canali/>`_ at CERN. Most new development
|
|
|
14 has been done by `Catherine Devlin <http://catherinedevlin.blogspot.com/>`_.

16 SQLPython is based on the Python standard library's
|
|
|
17 `cmd <http://docs.python.org/library/cmd.html#module-cmd>`_ module, and on an extension
|
|
|
18 to it called `cmd2 <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/cmd2>`_. SQLPython also draws considerable
|
|
|
19 inspiration from two Perl-based open-source SQL clients,
|
|
|
20 `Senora <http://senora.sourceforge.net/>`_ and `YASQL <http://sourceforge.net/projects/yasql>`_.

22 SQLPython is currently only compatible with Oracle databases. Expanding it to other RDBMS is a dream
|
|
|
23 for "one fine day". Call it "SQLPython 3000". |
