Re: CORBA and PG

Hi,

This was mentioned a while back on this list (pg hackers) - thanks to whoever
provided the pointer :-) I have not yet looked at it in depth, though that is high
on my list of TO-DO's. It is released under an apache style licence. Any reason
why there are no pointers to it on the PostgreSQL related projects or interfaces
pages?

project page: http://4suite.org/index.epy
docs on ODMG support: http://services.4Suite.org/documents/4Suite/4ODS-userguide

From project page:
"4Suite is a collection of Python tools for XML processing and object database
management. It provides support for XML parsing, several transient and persistent
DOM implementations, XPath expressions, XPointer, XSLT transforms, XLink, RDF and
ODMG object databases.

4Suite server ... features an XML data repository, a rules-based engine, and XSLT
transforms, XPath and RDF-based indexing and query, XLink resolution and many
other XML services. It also supports related services such as distributed
transactions and access control lists. Along with basic console and command-line
management, it supports remote, cross-platform and cross-language access through
CORBA, WebDAV, HTTP and other request protocols to be added shortly."

Drivers for PostgreSQL and Oracle are provided.

BTW, page pays postgresql quite a compliment too: "PostgresQL is a brilliant,
enterprise-quality, open-source, SQL DBMS." :-)
