I believe there's guile-pg, and guile-sqlite, but (i) there could be others I've forgotten, and (ii) it would be great if someone could summarize how they differ / overlap / compare with each other. guile-pg has really nice support for converting postgresql types to and From=20scheme types, and you can register custom converters. So it's much beyond just being able to run query strings and get string answers. I have the impression that it's implementation is tied to pg. IMHO the right thing would be to use the type mapping part of guile-pg with a DBI sort of back end to go to various databases. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (NetBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkjUNLoACgkQ+vesoDJhHiXoKgCgpUfhxhYeJYKrZADzUQZzkxlN naQAn0DYWp2uFaSFhEVp6vV7zJ7VeJYE =rAo0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
