MySQL is a rather popular online dbms (right Randy?). MySQL supports

Elan,
Here's an odd idea.
When software development teams couldn't wait for a new machine to be
built, people sometimes created an emulator for testing purposes. It
wasn't as fast or clean, but it allowed development to begin.
We don't have a good connection to a backend database for REBOL now.
Though, some other scripting languages do. Do you think it be possible
to write some REBOL "middleware" that would write a script in some
other language, run that script, and then let REBOL deal with the
result?
Also I think some database services, like mySQL, also support standard
in/out. Might that be another way to get something like REBOL and mySQL
to work together?
The problem with waiting for /COMMAND has become that our paying
customers need solutions to proceed now. I can either make solutions in
other languages that I will throw away when /COMMAND comes, or I can
make solutions in REBOL to throw away (or integrate) when /COMMAND
comes.
