RFS: xbsql -- SQL wrapper for XBase DBMS library
Hi,
This is second RFS on this package. The first one (sent two weeks ago)
caused some responses that led to a bug discovery in Linda checker
(reported as #252158). Unfortunately, first RFS did not reach its
primary target (ie. sponsorship), so I decided to send RFS for second
time. Not to blame anyone of course, just explaining why did I send this
one :)

Package has been split into several directories by mentors.debian.net
upload mechanism (this issue has been reported to site autors few
minutes ago and I hope it will be fixed some time in the future.
There are two versions of the package. Older one (initial release) and a
newer one (solving problem with .so version numbering).

Description : SQL wrapper for XBase DBMS library
XBSQL is a wrapper library which provides an SQL-subset interface to
Xbase DBMS. XBSQL by no way provides anything like a complete SQL
implementation, and in any case is hampered by various limitations of
XBase (such as no i notion of a null value). However, it implements a
fairly useful subset, including select, insert, update and delete;
select for instance supports joins, ordering, grouping and the having
clause.
