        ===========
        ---------------------------------
        Query Engine for Selecting Tables
        ---------------------------------
        
        Installation
        ------------
        Easy enough::
          easy_install quest
        or::
          pip install quest
        
        Intro
        -----
        Quest implements a simple DSL (domain-specific language) on top of MySQL.
        It can connect to any MySQL database. It can be used at the command line,
        which provides a simple REPL, or through an HTML GUI.
        For a guide, type "help" at the prompt or in the GUI.
        
        Configuration
        -------------
        Quest must have access to a username and password of a MySQL account in
        order to connect to the MySQL database. You should set these in your script
        by doing (e.g.)::
          import quest.config
          quest.config.db_host = localhost # default
          quest.config.db_user = root # default
          quest.config.db_password = puppies
          # Quest only connects to 1 table
          quest.config.table_name = employees
          quest.config.db_name = company
        
        To create a hierarchy for ROLLUP (which goes up the hierarchy) and DRILLDOWN
        (which goes down the hierarchy), use quest.config.create_hierarchy::
          # Parents come before children.
          quest.config.create_hierarchy(['ceo', 'manager', 'employee'])
          quest.config.create_hierarchy(['python', 'cpp', 'c'])
        
        Usage
        -----
        Typical usage of the command-line REPL::
            #!/usr/bin/env python
        
            import quest
            import quest.config
            from quest.prompt import Prompt
        
            quest.config.db_host = localhost # default
            quest.config.db_user = root # default
            quest.config.db_password = puppies
            # Quest only connects to 1 table
            quest.config.table_name = employees
            quest.config.db_name = company
        
            p = Prompt()
            p.interact()
        
        Typical usage of the HTML GUI::
            #!/usr/bin/env python
        
            import quest
            import quest.config
            from quest.web import quest_app
        
            quest.config.db_host = localhost # default
            quest.config.db_user = root # default
            quest.config.db_password = puppies
            # Quest only connects to 1 table
            quest.config.table_name = employees
            quest.config.db_name = company
        
            quest_app.run()
            # Now navigate to http://localhost:8080
