Hi,

after hours of hacking I finally produced the first more-or-less working sql 
IOSlave using the Qt3 SQL module (only works with KDE3/Qt3): 
http://www.bnro.de/~harry/sql_io/sql-0.1.tar.gz

(Yes, I know, the code is ugly as hell, but take it as a "proof of concept" 
;))

Usage: sql://host/pluginname/databasename/table

(of course you can also specify a port and username/password in the URL).

Note that you need some Qt SQL plugins otherwise you'll get a nice error page 
:) If you omit the table name then you'll get a html-page with links to all 
available tables in the database.

Originally, I wanted an URL like "sql://plugin/host/db/table", but Qt SQL 
plugin names are case-sensitive and hostnames in URLs aren't... Besides, this 
also keeps downward-compatibility with the old sql ioslave ;)

Until now only (hard-coded) HTML is supported, the goal is to have something 
like style-sheets so you can create a nice report with database information 
in konqi. Another goal is to allow CSV (comma separated files) output so 
non-sql enabled KDE apps can open tables (most apps have a CSV import 
filter...).

There is a long TODO list (in my head ;)) but if you have suggestions, flames 
etc. please don't hesitate to mail :) Any help is also appreciated... :)

Harry
