Hi there,

we're making some thoughts to develop an application based on web2py
(a kind of tracking system). In this frame, we'd like to be able to
query the database in a way that other applications can interact with
it. For example, it would be nice to have the possibility to launch
such a command line from a remote client:

remotecmd -d database_path -u user -p password -r query -o output_file
-f format

where
* database_path : path to reach the database
* user and password : identification of the user, so the application
can take into account its priviledges
* query : the query to the database (expressed in the web2py format)
or a file containing a function to run (for complex queries, where a
simple SQL like request is not sufficient). The query would be either
to update or just read the content of the db.
* output_file and format (to be discussed) : where and how (csv,
xml, ...) to display the result

Is the framework web2py able to propose such a feature ?

the remote client could be the Eclipse environment for example :
useful for developper, heavy for manager that only like to have the
webinterface

many thanks

gabriel
