That's great news, Barry. As you know, we're completely behind you and will do whatever we can from our end (people and money) to help a SQL-able MM3 become a reality. We'll be in touch.
While we're at it, let me mention in passing that I've been doing a lot of work lately with SQLite. I've been thinking that, what with all the problems associated with BerkeleyDB, it might not make sense to switch to SQLite as the embedded, default database for MM3. I think it would allow us to re-use a lot of the code, since it would be mostly DBAPI 2 compatible.
Might not make sense? Or might make sense? I have played with SQLite a bit but not extensively, so I'm not aware of any major drawbacks. I do recall at the sprint lunch that SQLite was suggested by that fellow who was doing the email sprinting (can't remember his name, but he seemd to be a sharp cookie). SQLite, if it's solid, is attractive to me because it's built into PHP 5. Thinking down the road, it starts to look pretty good.
