4 SQLPython is a command-line interface to Oracle databases. It is intended as an alternative to Oracle's

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

13 SQLPython is currently only compatible with Oracle databases. Expanding it to other RDBMS is a dream
