I am using it to manage data from all the teachers at our institution
concerning their syllabus entries. I get the data on floppies (!) and
I massage them with awk to RDB data entries; then I am sorting them
etc. with nosql and dump them in LaTeX-skeleton files ready for
printing in differrent forms: lists, the universtity syllabus and the
institutions syllabus.

If you are interested I can mail you a step by step description (I
have documented allthing in the office.

Greetings,
