What is Schevo
==============

Schevo is a next-generation DBMS that focuses on the following:

* **Rapid Development**: Schevo includes features to make it easy and
fun to
   create even the most complex of databases. Not only is the schema
syntax
   easy to write and understand, you can also quickly place initial
values in
   your schema that are required by your database, and use the same
syntax to
   create sets of sample data to use during development.

* **User Interface Generation**: Schevo provides user interface
toolkits that
   take advantage of the richness of the database schema. You can use
the
   full-featured Schevo Navigator to interact with your database without
   writing a single line of code outside of your database schema. A
PyQt-based
   toolkit is already available, and PyGtk and TurboGears toolkits
are in the
   works.

* **Rich Schema Definition**: The schema for a Schevo database is
written in
   concise, easy-to-read Python code. Not only does the schema
describe how
   information in the database is structured, but also defines all
transactions
   and rules that ensure database integrity.

* **Automated Schema Evolution**: Once a Schevo database is deployed
and is
   used to store valuable data, you will inevitably make further
changes to the
   structure of the database. Schevo assists you in this task and
makes it easy
   to restructure a database and facilitate the migration of data
from one
   schema version to the next.

* **Transaction Based**: Schevo is designed from the ground up to
protect your
   data. All changes to a Schevo database must be done using
transactions, and
   Schevo ensures that those transactions always leave the database in a
   consistent state.
