Hi Gang! 

Happy New year!  I had to unplug for a week or so, but I'm back :)

I've looked over the plan and documentation for the upcoming redesign. 
In general, it looks good.  Of course, I have a question too.

Since we are defining an SQL like interface to the storage area, why
not base the storage area on an SQL engine, such as mySQL, ORACLE,
Informix, DB/2, etc.  There are database interface modules for PERL,
that would allow the underlying database to be a free choice of the
user.  Where no database standard exists mySQL could be used.

Why reinvent the wheel?

Creating a new aQL makes sense, since it is a different functionality
from the data storage.
