Re: Have you looked at MetaKit?

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 :)
