Currently [sqlsingle] and my [psql] adaptation can only talk to Postgres databases. I presume Hans is alluding to the ability to connect to other servers such as MySql etc. I think this would be a good thing, but not something I could start immediately.

I was aware of the facility to do this in Python, but since there was already an extern out there I could easily adapt, I decided to opt for that. However, I would be very interested to see your abstraction, in part to compare the performance and functionality, and also to help with my Python, which at the moment is fairly non-existant.

BTW, what does LG stand for?
