Have you looked at MetaKit?
by Mr. Fancypants on Wednesday 23/Feb/2005, @14:08

(See http://www.equi4.com/mkdocs.html)

It seems to support most of the usual relational operators without the yuckiness (quoting differences, various conventions for parameters, non-standard syntax, etc.) of SQL.

There also seems to be support for concurrent reading and writing (maybe only 1 writer at a time, I'm not sure) and it looks quite mature.

Please stop listing existing databases.

I'm sure that Scott and Aaron know that there are many DBs out there.

as an embedded database it looks good. but we don't need an embedded database, we need a database that can be accessed simultaneously and, preferably, over a network. the TODO list for this project is already big enough without adding "write a scalable RDBMS" ;)

once the first edition is out using an external RDBMS then perhaps all the data storage fans can swoop in with their super dooper file systems and coolio ultra-tiny database-like engines and experiment/optimize that area of the software.

but it's not the interesting nor a critical part of the project. =)

maybe u could make the data storage part "pluginable" so that developpers could easily implement different db backend à la kexi or even like that damn amarok while you could focus on the postgresql part :)
