I know. The only catch is that the last time I brought up databases it turned into a big discussion, where I got the following (paraphrased) opinions:

1. MySQL rules -- BDB sucks!
2. It'll be a cold day in %$#@ before SQL is included in the base system -- even SQL-Lite.
3. BDB isn't non-atomic and not stable.

Unless something more constructive is going to be discussed, I'm not going to pursue that semi-bikeshed topic again.
