>Why make this a kioslave?

Hmm, I'm not sure to understand the question.

Giving access to an RDBMS within a virtual filesystem, will provide an easy 
way to access to data and structures. Konqui will become a marvellous RDBMS 
administration tool ...

With Harald I'll try to make something generic, but I doubt it's possible, 
just because each RDBMS has a specific structure. For example not all RDBMS 
allows users, groups, roles, constraints, triggers, function, stored 
procedures, packages, user defined type, and so ...

Also the way to retrieve structure informations from the RDBMS is specific to 
each RDBMS.

For example, if I want to retrieve the list of all available databases, with 
pgsql i'll send a "select datname from pg_database;" in "template1" database; 
but with Sybase i'll send a "sp_helpdb" in "master" database....
