Very cool. Reminds me of Heroku's Data Clip [1] service released as part of their Postgres as a service offering. [1] https://postgres.heroku.com/blog/past/2012/1/31/simple_data_...

Yeah, that's a neat project. I was already thinking about building this before they launched, and their positive reception spurred me on.

If you're already using Heroku Postgres there's a ton of overlap between the services, but I'm hoping to provide a decent open source alternative for the rest of us. :)

If only there was something like this for SQL Server =(

If you can run Rack apps in your environment, it would be pretty straightfoward to add a SQL Server driver to Oculus. Right now it supports MySQL and Postgres.

Our environment is self-managed and flexible, so I should be able to throw something together to run this.

If I get it to work, I'll pass along whatever info I learn in the process.

Cool! I'm happy to provide guidance, and I'll take a pull request if you can get it working with some unit tests.
