Justin and Donna, if one of you or anyone creates such a SQL interface, we would love to add it to VisAD, or add a link to the VisAD web page.
Yep, it's a really good idea, but it would be over my head at the moment. :(
One of the things that could *potentially* be tricky is that adding database support can be database dependent unless using a database abstraction layer (i.e. ODBC or JDBC).
Am guessing that Donna's code is probably specific to DB2, but it might make for a decent start point if people are interested. I could *assist* with pointer for PostgreSQL specific stuff if needed, but it's been a while since I've been a voodoo coder.
Does any of this sound helpful? :-) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift
