Wow, is seems really impressive. A good SQL support and index in only
9000
lines of code... Radim, how it compares to g51 dbf driver? Should we
take
a more closer look at it? It seems that SELECT support is quite
complete,
and indexing capabilities are interesting for querying large data.
Import/export
to and from PostgreSQL is another interesting plus...
