Abstract:
---------

The CLI (call level interface) library GQL provides an abstraction 
of a SQL database, which means it is a general API for all (or most) 
possible SQL databases. It achieves this by using individual drivers for 
different databases.

At the moment the following drivers are available:

* PostgreSQL
* MySQL
* SQLite
