Thanks for the correction, Kasper. Can you explain how it supports queries?

Hi David,
Just a quick comment. I think you may want to omit or at least rephrase
the following sentence:
--
You may not need SQL today, but think about if you may need it later. I
have seen way too many projects that started with a simple key/value
storage, only to add on query support, secondary indexes, and so on, as
the project grows in complexity
--
Because Berkeley DB Java supports both secondary indexes, querying,
various degrees of transaction isolation, cursor support, row level
locking, etc. Its primarily the missing SQL support that sets it apart
from traditional databases.
Other then that, great post.
Cheers
Kasper
