guile-dbi is great! I'm using it, thanks!

Berkeley DB is a low-level database, not a high level as SQL flavors, it
can be used as the base of them, it is GPL. In this way, for example, it
is the base of Oracle SQL servers. It is based on key-data structure,
with some add ons as environments, transactions, secondary databases
(for dynamic indexes) and logging. Also it is usefull to access data in
config files in some applications. It is like gnu dbm (gdbm), with some
variations...

Betoes
