+Introduction
+============
+
+SQLPython is a command-line interface to Oracle databases.  It is intended as an alternative to Oracle's
+SQL\*Plus.  For the most part, it can be used the same way SQL\*Plus would be used; this documentation
+focuses on the places where SQLPython differs.
+
+SQLPython was created by `Luca Canali <http://canali.web.cern.ch/canali/>_` at CERN.  Most new development
+has been done by `Catherine Devlin <http://catherinedevlin.blogspot.com/>_`.
+
+SQLPython is based on the Python standard library's cmd module, and on an extension to it called cmd2.
+
+SQLPython is currently only compatible with Oracle databases.  Expanding it to other RDBMS is a dream
+for "one fine day".  Call it "SQLPython 3000".
