Here I'd like to play with some ideas. If I could choose, I'd like to do file
access using a database engine. And to be coherent, I'd choose PostgreSQL, which
is BSD-style free. But one could think that it is not enough freedom! So, why
not using ODBC or something similar? PostgreSQL has good ODBC support for Perl
(or should it be said Perl has good ODBC support for PostgreSQL?). It
(PostgreSQL) has also support for C/C++ access.

Some really cool things could be done if this two-layer scheme is implemented.
For instance, accessing the same database from diferent languages.

I could help. I'd like to hear what you think.
