Naive assumption is that database == sql database, unless explicitly
stated otherwise (e.g. "object database", nosql database, etc...). If
we venture outside standard databases, we are talking about custom
binary formats more than anything else - and that's a whole different
conversation that is not of interest to me at this time (seems like
premature optimization when both xml and sqlite seem to perform
acceptably).

Overall, threads like this are too long and abstract for me to read. I
trust that relevant bits get summarized under new subject line, as is
usually the case :).
