Splicer [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/trivio/splicer.png)](https://travis-ci.org/trivio/splicer)

======================

``splicer`` makes the entire world look like a SQL database. 

It is a python module for working with data from disparate sources 

using commands to those familiar with SQL. It aims to make quick 

one off queries and ETL scripts more declarative rather than procedural.

Inspired by projects like BigQuery, Postgres Foreign Data Wrappers

and Multicorn, except no database is required.

``splicer`` enables:

* Analysts to create Datasets linking various

  foreign tables together along with User Defined Functions written in python. 

  Once defined, the datasets can be queried via SQL Select statements to create 

  new Views of the Data.

* Extension Developers to create extensions that make various data sources

  REST endpoints, log files, NoSQL Servers, traditional Databases,

  CSV Files to behave like tables.

  ``splicer`` will take advantage of these various sources' capabilities where 

  appropriate and will compensate for sources that lack basic

  features. 

  For example if a database supports joins and you want to query

  two tables within that database, ``splicer`` will have that system

  perform the join for you. If however you're working with a less

  sophisticated source, like plain files, ``splicer`` will perform the

  operations for you locally.
