It requires KDE3 and Qt3, make sure that PATH, QTDIR, KDEDIR, LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
and so on are set correctly...

yes, me too :)

I started with html and text/csv output because this is what probably most 
end-users like: Enter the connection data, klick on a table name and voila - 
there you got the results directly inside your browser...

The CSV output was for non-SQL enabled office applications. Most apps can 
import CSV (comma separated values), so you just had to open 
sql://blah?output=csv to get your adressbook from a database into KOffice 
etc.

Outputting stuff as filesystem surely has its advantages and would be cool for 
dragging/dropping data in/out of databases and moving whole recordsets.

I'm currently rewriting stuff to make it more general, so I think it should be 
possible to use the same database-access classes for both filesystem/stream 
based output...

Best regards,
Harry
