Document which packages implement DBI

[cgoldammer]

It'd be great if the beginning of the documentation would provide a list of the packages that implement the interface/API of DBI.jl. I'm pretty sure that includes: SQLite.jl and MySQL.jl but I'm not sure about others.

I'm planning to mention this in my added documentation for DataFrames, where I want to include, in the IO section, how to obtain a DataFrame from a database.

It includes MySQL.jl and PostgreSQL.jl, but not SQLite.jl. I think @johnmyleswhite was working on https://github.com/JuliaDB/DBDSQLite.jl but I'm not sure what the status of that package is. I believe those are the only ones. I'll update if jmw can say something about the status of his SQLite package.

My SQLite package isn't likely to be updated for a very long time to come. And the MySQL package I started working on isn't finished.

Other than @iamed2's PostgreSQL, I think a lot more work is needed to make DBI a reality for Julia. Most of the work done on database hasn't been done with an eye towards cross-database compatibility.

Stay tuned for a reboot from me any day now :-)

On the README, we now include a link to the JuliaHub page where you can see all direct dependents (3d84a7d)
