Ok - I now have a very crude PHP implementation out there: http://code.google.com/p/mql-to-sql/ There is also an online demo for the Sakila sample database: http://mql.qbmetrix.com/mqlread/mql-to-sql-query-editor.php The implementation is just proof of concept. It implements a reasonable subset of the MQL language (reads only for now) The main objective of the project now is to get feedback mostly on what people think about the concept. If someone thinks it is interesting enough, perhaps we can get together and discuss the viability of a drizzle plugin. kind regards, and thanks in advance, Roland. > > Monty > -- Roland Bouman blog: http://rpbouman.blogspot.com/ twitter: @rolandbouman Author of "Pentaho Solutions: Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing with Pentaho and MySQL", http://tinyurl.com/lvxa88 (Wiley, ISBN: 978-0-470-48432-6) Author of "Pentaho Kettle Solutions: Building Open Source ETL Solutions with Pentaho Data Integration", http://tinyurl.com/33r7a8m (Wiley, ISBN: 978-0-470-63517-9) _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
