-Relational: SQL-Alchemy for Humans
-==================================
+Relational: Just Write SQL
+==========================
 
-The premise is simple. You write SQL. You get data.
+Relational is a very simple, but powerful, library for making raw SQL queries
+to Postgres Databases. This common task can be surprisingly difficult with the
+standard tools available. This library strives to make this simple workflow
+as easy and seamless as possible, while providing an elegant interface to work
+with your results.
 
-The way things should be.
+Relational also feature full Tablib integration, which allows you to export
+your results to CSV, XLS, JSON, or YAML with a single line of code. Excellent
+for sharing data with friends, or generating reports.
+
+- HSTORE support, if available.
+- Iterated rows are cached for future reference.
+- ``$DATABASE_URL`` environment variable support.
+- Convenience `Database.get_table_names` method.
+- Queries can be passed as strings or filenames, parameters supported.
+- Query results are iterators of standard Python dictionaries (``{'column-name': 'value'}``)
+
+Relational is powered by `psycopg2 <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/psycopg2>`_
+and `Tablib <http://docs.python-tablib.org/en/latest/>`_.
