[Jsqlwiz-developers] Welcome to the project!

[Paul G. <gi...@ya...>]

Hey everyone,

Thanks for showing interest in this project.  Sorry it has been off to a little
bit of a slow start.  I am new to administering projects, and I am currently
working full time.  The idea for the project is to create a web based user
interface that functions as a kind of SQL generation wizard.  There could also
be a Swing GUI interface, but I think the web one is the most important.  I
wasn't able to find any other open source projects that provide completely the
same functionality.

A couple of the goals I had is to first create something that will just
generate standard SQL using text inputs and things like drop down (html
selects) to choose which columns to select, etc.   You should then be able to
test the SQL against any database, as long as you have all the required
information (hostname, port, user, password) and a compatible JDBC driver.  The
test would show you the results of the query.

Later on we could add functionality for database specific SQL, such as syntax
for different kind of joins, and access to different built in functions.

I will try to create some prototypes for the user interface as soon as I can,
and then I will check the code into cvs.

Later,

Paul
