[Laszlo-dev] For your review: Laszlo Database API spec

[Max Carlson]

Hi,

I'd like your feedback on the attached spec.  The notion is to have a 
common REST API for Laszlo to read form and communicate changes to 
remote data sources.  The plan is to create a special Laszlo dataset 
that knows how to speak this protocol and can automatically sync with 
the back-end.  The first implementation will likely be in PHP and 
support SQL databases such as MySQL.  Later implementations could be 
built on other platforms - I'd love to see one built on Rails.  It's 
important to note that the protocol is designed to be general enough to 
work with any data source that has sets of records - it's not 
necessarily tied to SQL databases.  I look forward to hearing your 
thoughts and feedback!

Regards,
Max Carlson
