Hi Romano,

Don't get me wrong - I need it as well.

I just don't want to start with rows and columns and having to think
about my REBOL data within the confines of a RDBMS.  I am a database
developer by day and a reboler by night but I know REBOL is capable
of a very different kind of database.

>I was thinking to write my own but if Gabriele write it i'll use it (and it

I too have thought about it and can easily say either you or Gabriele
could write one in REBOL better than I.  Most on this list could I believe. :-)

Small and flexible are more important to me than fast.

I don't mind some complexity as long as the design is built to manage
most of it internally.

Just my opinons mind you.  If a RDBMS is what Gabriele needs and
wants to build I will be glad to help in whatever ways I can.  I just want to
open up the discussion a bit in other directions to see if there is any
interest.

Thanks, Rod.
