Ok, fair enough. But there's a lot of overhead involved with Java with
their completely OOP view on programming.
Agreed.
Also, although I know that many database solutions companies (in particular
Oracle and IBM), do like Java, it's not used in many other regions of the
market from what I've seen (Apple, Intel, M$, many other companies that
have openings in my school's resume databases). Most want C++, C#, and
VB.NET (ew)... and maybe Javascript with AJAX support.
From what I've seen, after filtering out VB and C#, the next top is Java.
I completely agree with you about "ew".. not a big fan of C-flat or VB.

PS If you hated BDB and loved SQL, please note that some SQL engines use
BDB for a database backend instead of MyISAM, INNODB, etc.
I was aware that MySQL has a lot of backends, but most hosting sites that
give you mysql don't give you backend options-- it's MyISAM or die. :-/
Anyway, good luck with the BDB. Have you thought about looking at
dbopen(3) or dbm(3)? I'm sure you'll get more FreeBSD supporters if you
use something already shipping with the stock system.

It (BDB 1.8.5) is already in the system under:
/usr/src/lib/libc/db :)
hash(3) and btree(3) have more details in manpage format.
I'm just using parts of the MySQL server for research purposes. Thankfully the
BDB dump code can be separated from the rest of the code and built modularly =).
