Re: Text File Configurations

>From gnue-common/datasources/drivers/special/configfile.Connection.py

# DESCRIPTION:
# Implementation of dbdriver for use with configuration files
#
# NOTES:
#
# 1. every config section = one record
# 2. section name = field "_section_name" (handle it similar to a private key)
#        i.e. throw an database error, if two sections have the same name
# 3. empty records wont be written, only if you write an '""' into it
# 4. The path and filename of the config file should be provided by the
#    dbname, or a filename attribute of the <database> tag (both work).
#    The place holder '~' and '%configdir%' will be resolved.
