No indeed, perhaps these and their answers belong in the FAQ.

For that, we rely on Sesame; in their efforts to move towards a final 
2.0 release, they haven't quite made it to adding in DB support.  There 
are remnants of Sesame 1 in our code, when it was possible to use a 
database backing store, but I'm pretty sure those fragments are dead.

A bit from Sesame folks on the present state regarding MySQL:

You're going to run into scalability problems at some point, probably 
soon.  If you're up for it, I'd like to know at what size you find 
things stop working reasonably (and a bit about your hardware).

Not without writing your own intermediate code ;)

You can do it from the command line, but not while it's running. 
Consider SemBank for non-static datasets.

There was a fellow on the list who suggested he used Sesame contexts to 
aid in updating his data, but I don't think we saw code for that scenario.
