restSQL 是一个超轻量级的数据访问层，专为 HTTP 客户端提供，同时也是一个持久层框架，可嵌入任何 Java 应用。
restSQL 是：
an SQL generator with Java and HTTP APIs
uses a simple RESTful HTTP API with XML or JSON serialization
presents flat or hierarchical views of relational database tables
organizes access through query-able and updatable database views called SQL Resources
offers declarative and plugin mechanisms for implementing domain constraints and business logic
a JEE web application or a Java library
platform, JEE container and database agnostic
restSQL 不是：
an HTTP to JDBC/ODBC bridge that tunnels SQL over HTTP
an Object-Relational Mapping tool (ORM) that maps tables to objects
a database or a data storage engine
a sophisticated query or report generator
an OLAP-style cube or data warehousing engine
用途：
basic CRUD (Create-Read-Update-Delete) access to relational databases
a database abstraction layer
a lighter-weight alternative to ORM (e.g. ADO or EJB)
a lighter-weight alternative to WSDL/SOAP
