If you're diving into that make sure you write a class that wraps mysql
specifics so that postgres and others can be added at a later time. A good
source of inspiration for the interface is Perl DBI module.
There is a class system that does it for mysql (libmysql++ I think, on
mysql.com) but it's far too heavy (uses templates).
Also be prepared to change a lot of things in htdig since the semantics
of an SQL database are *very* different from the semantics of Berkeley DB.
This is a major change and I strongly think it's very impractical to keep
both systems in the same code (Berkeley DB + SQL).
Cheers,
