gfsqlite: a simple SQL-Shell for sqlite-Databases

=> Version 0.75
=> Date: 2008-02-07

gfsqlite is a simple SQL-Shell in Python, based upon
gfsql (see http://www.wspiegel.de/gfsql/). It uses the
Python Database-API pysqlite (Vers. 0.5 or later)
for the access to  sqlite-Databases.
gfsqlite may read SQL-commands from a file, and a
history-function is included.
There is a simple export-function, syntax-highcoloring
and an export mode for autodia (autodia creates UML-diagrams 
for dia from a SQL database definition).
