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.

Dunno. However, fyi, I'm maintaining guile-dbi, which wraps
postgres and mysql.
guile-dbi is great! I'm using it, thanks!
