Description: 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.
