Very interesting! I was sure that emacs should have something about
databases and I searched many times about it on the internet but never
found anything useful. It's somewhat hidden in the myriad of emacs
packages.
I will take a look, of course, however I'm afraid that I still won't
find what I ask at the moment. Edb seems more a standalone database
but I want to have some tool to connect to or import from other data
sources, especially relational DBMS-es, excel, MS Access, etc.
Thank you for suggestion.
Maks.
