PublicSQL allows SQL Queries in JavaScript

A new Open Source SQL Alternative

Buxtehude (Germany), Dezember 1, 2010. The existing development of 
Databases for use in web-Applications requires large server-Databases 
like Mysql and MS sql. PublicSQL allows users to run SQL services 
without using a SQL database server. To achieve this, we use a special 
internal table format ? "Portable Table Format" ? to allow for SQL 
Queries directly in JavaScript.

Programming Internet Applications without server connection is only 
possible using JavaScript. This restricts the number of SQL command 
available. For security reasons JavaScript is not allowed to save data 
files and loading of data files have special requirements.

PublicSQL is not intended to provide a substitution of existing 
databases, but to provide some enhancement to these. PublicSQL consists 
of a JavaScript which is to be included into your web-site. Tables will 
be created in portable table format which is similar to the CSV file 
format. Tables used in queries will be loaded automatically.

The simple data format allows for future expansions and interfaces to 
other programs and applications. In addition PublicSQL is the first 
application to allow forwarding of databases with a web-site and to have 
public databases on different servers and web-sites.

PublicSQL is Open-Source Software. The actual version is available for 
downloading from http://www.en.publicsql.org.
