DBSQL 0.2.2: (March 10, 2007) This is version 0.2.2 of DBSQL. To view the release and installation documentation, load the distribution file docs/index.html into your web browser. This work started from the SQLite project (found on the web at http://www.sqlite.org/). SQLite and all contributions to the SQLite project have been placed in the public domain by its author, Dr. Richard Hipp. There was no assertion of copyright at all on the code I used as a starting point for my work. In fact there are statements that explicitly disclaim copyright. I am asserting copyright on this work, DBSQL. I believe that if you examine the extent to which I've changed, updated, and modified the SQLite code you'll respect my copyright assertion. This is a new product, heavily inspired by another. The goal for DBSQL is to provide a small SQL92 relational database layer on top of the Berkeley DB database. Berkeley DB is copyright Oracle Corporation (formerly Sleepycat Software, acquired in Feb 2006) and licensed under the Sleepycat Public License. That license is compatible with the GPL for open source use. Recognize that you, as someone using DBSQL, will need to review the Sleepycat License and the GPL before you use and redistribute your incorporating work. It is your responsibility to comply with those licenses as I am in my work on DBSQL itself. My motivation on a personal level is quite simple, I am in product management these days and not in the code itself. I believe that product managers should be engineers at heart with an ability to understand business, politics, and software sales and support. This is my playground to keep my engineering skills sharp enough to speak fluent geek. As a former engineer at Sleepycat I understand and value the Berkeley DB programming infrasture, design, and methodologies and I have liberally copied and reused them in this project to improve SQLite in ways that I hope will be of value to open source users out there. I did this because I see the value of SQLite to its userbase, it is a perfect example of the 80/20 rule and the KISS method and I admire those qualities in software. My hope is that the Berkeley DB database engine will provide some significant features that SQLite cannot such as replication for high availability while remaining small enough to live comfortably inside applications, services, and devices.
