+# Apache Iceberg SQL Catalog Official Native Rust Implementation
+
+[![crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/iceberg.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/iceberg-catalog-sql)
+[![docs.rs](https://img.shields.io/docsrs/iceberg.svg)](https://docs.rs/iceberg/latest/iceberg-catalog-sql/)
+
+This crate contains the official Native Rust implementation of Apache Iceberg SQL Catalog.
+
+See the [API documentation](https://docs.rs/iceberg-catalog-sql/latest) for examples and the full API.
+
+## Database support
+
+For additional database support (such as for `sqlite` databases), include the `sqlx` dependency in your crate with the needed features.
+
+For example, to include support for `sqlite` databases, these should both be included in your `Cargo.toml`
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+iceberg-catalog-sql = "X.Y.Z"
+sqlx = { version = "A.B.C", features = ["runtime-tokio", "sqlite"] }
+```
