PROMETHEUS RESEARCH

HTSQL was created in 2005 to provide an XPath-like HTTP interface to PostgreSQL for client-side XSLT screens and reports. HTSQL found its audience when analysts and researchers bypassed the user interface and started to use URLs directly. The language has evolved since then... HTSQL is first and formost designed for the accidental programmer and as such provides a direct mapping of common business inquiries onto a computer parsable and executable syntax. Just because a query must be processable by a machine, doesn't mean it shouldn't be human readable... HTSQL is a query language for the web. Queries are URLs that can be directly typed into a browser; the output could be returned in a variety of formats including HTML, CSV, JSON, etc. HTSQL can be used as the basis for dashboarding tools and other browser-based applications. In this way, database queries can be shared, tweaked, and used in any number of ways.
