BigTable looks great! There's a 3% performance hit for these types of
databases. However it makes up for it in other ways.
"Dive Into Python" seems to suggest there is less busy work, but I am
still looking into the GUI components of Python. Say, a grid of 10x10
tiles of PNGs.

Please note: MySQL is specific relational database management
system
(RDBMs), which uses a dialect of structured query language (SQL). SQL
by
itself is just a semi-standardized query language -- and can
technically
be used to access non-relational DBMS (if any such are still in use),
though the query processor would be a pain to program (map a
relational
join into a hierarchical DBMS schema? ugh).

So one question: what RDBMs are supported in that space?
