The Doctrine Project is the home to several PHP libraries primarily focused on database storage and object mapping. The core projects are a Object Relational Mapper (ORM) and the Database Abstraction Layer (DBAL) it is built upon.
Dataclips allow the results of SQL queries on a Heroku Postgres database to be easily shared. Simply create a query on dataclips.heroku.com, and then share the resulting URL with co-workers, colleagues, or the world. The recipients of a dataclip are able to view the data in their browser or download it in JSON, CSV, XML, or Microsoft Excel formats
HTSQL was created in 2005 to provide an XPath-like HTTP interface to PostgreSQL for client-side XSLT screens and reports. HTSQL found its audience when analysts and researchers bypassed the user interface and started to use URLs directly. The language has evolved since then.
