Hi,

In a recent interview with Matt Dillon of the DragonFlyBsd project on OsNews 
on of his other projects was mentioned as well :  BackPlane Fault-Tolerant 
Distributed RDMS

The idea from what i can gather with this project is to create a scalable 
(for lack of a better word) unkillable fast database server that can be 
easily plugged into other programs.

This project would help alot with a whole lot of the problems that people 
have with DBMail ( DB Redundancy, Issues with DB Replication Engines ) if of 
course it can be plugged into DBMail and its free...

There are docs on its C API at :
http://www.backplane.com/docs.shtml?doc=1

The only problems i have see so far is :

Only one datatype is implemented, 'varchar'. In otherwords, everything is a 
string.

We do not support UNIQUE
