[savannah-hackers]

Hi,

The following project was submitted to Savannah. It needs evaluation to
become a GNU package, can you give it a look, please ? 

Submitter: <address@hidden>
Project Full Name:  Database request broker
Project System Name:  dbrb
License:  gpl
Approval URL: https://savannah.gnu.org/admin/groupedit.php?group_id=2225
Description: This software, called dbrb, implements a client-server database 
independent interface. Its architecture is based on a server program that 
interfaces to one or more RDBMS and clients that interact with the server using 
a simple protocol. The application program (in C, Perl, Php, Java etc.) does 
not talk directly to the RDBMS but forwards queries to the dbrb server which in 
turn forwards them to the database engine.

Supported free databases:

- mysql         http://www.mysql.com
- postgresql    http://www.postgresql.org

Although this project is released under the GNU GPL it providessupport for some 
non-free databases:
- informix    
- IBM-db2
- oracle
- msql-2

All these database are not all equally supported. The documentationis not yet 
up to date.RDBMS are supported through modules that can be omitted without 
compromising the software functionality. 

The project already exists and is available for download at

http://www.iws.it/dbrb/dbrb-0.4.2.tar.bz2
 
The modules for the proprietary databases are available separately
at 

http://www.iws.it/dbrb/dbrb-0.4.2-modules.tar.bz2

if their distribution will be found compatible with the GPL or the 
LGPL.
