Have a look at the backends. the basic one is
 http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/roundup/roundup/roundup/backends/back_anydbm.py
(sorry bout the URL).

It's been on my round-tuit list sometime to look at the best way to 
do an Oracle (or db-sig, to be more precise) backend, but it's never
bubbled to the top.

Not currently, probably, no. in that order. If we're going to use an RDBMS,
it should be postgres, not mysql.

I suspect that knowing Richard, and seeing where he's been spending his
train time lately, that there might be a gadfly-bolted-onto-roundupdb in
some form soon.

But I could be wrong... :)
