It is not currently supported, but writing support for a RDBMS in
SQLite has shown to be very easy. Even I as a python beginner could do
it with the initial sqlite support. But is Gadfly still in
active development? I guess, SQLite will be faster anyway.

SQLite is really cool for small or standalone applications, where you
don't want to or cannot run a 'real' database server. It might be a
bit more difficult to get it working in a threaded environment, but a
couple of locks should make it possible as well. For bigger things I
would use a db-server, though. MySQL and PostgreSQL both are good.
