[Cdk-devel] ChemDB database umbrella project founded

[Christoph S. <ste...@eb...>]

Dear all,

Jerome Pansanel, Ernst-Georg Schmidt and myself have founded the chemDB 
project on Sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/chemdb).
ChemDB is supposed to be an umbrella project to ensure an 
as-similar-as-possible API for our three open source database cartridges 
for MySQL (mychem, Jerome), Postgres (pgchem, Ernst-Georg) and Oracle 
(orchem, Christoph). mychem and orchem are SF projects whereas pgchem is 
hosted at http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pgchem/.

Both pgchem and mychem are based on OpenBabel - the existing bits of 
orchem use the Chemistry Development Kit (CDK).

The discussions on API and backend are about to start on chemdb-discuss 
and I would like to give you the chance to subscribe
(http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=226034).

Cheers,

Christoph
