Introduction


WebSQL is a SQL-like query language for extracting information from the web. Its capabilities for performing navigation of web hypertexts makes it a useful tool for automating several web-related tasks that require the systematic processing of either all the links in a page, all the pages that can be reached from a given URL through paths that match a pattern, or a combination of both. WebSQL also provides transparent access to index servers that can be queried via the Common Gateway Interface.

These pages contain all the available information on WebSQL. If you have questions, you can e-mail us at websql@cs.toronto.edu.
