I'm about to write a Gnome-VFS module for accessing SQL databases (primary MySQL and Oracle). And I was wondering if there is some kind of standard related to mapping a URL to an SQL query. And if I'm forced to hack something myself I would appreciate opinions from others.
I imagine it could look something like this: scheme://[[user[:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port]]/[database]?query Or perhaps instead of query: [table[,table...][:field[,field...][:primary_key=value]]] There didn't seem to be anything suitable here: http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes But I found the following related URI schemes: HTDB Couldn't find enough information to determine whether this is suitable. It looks promising. JDBC This is apparently widely used but from what I can see it only addresses the database, and can not be used to access any specific data. mysql I would be stupid to use this for accessing a non-MySQL server, even if it perhaps would work fine. _______________________________________________ gnome-vfs-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-vfs-list
