There is berkleydb 1.x but that is more of a key/value store, as is the *dbm stuff. Perhaps the core team could be approached about adding sqlite to core if you need a relational db in the base system. I do not think you have a shot of adding a "real" dbms to the base, postgres for example, as it is just not a good fit. Another one to look at is metakit, not sure what the license is on this one though. Thanks, marc > > - -- > Aryeh M.
