Barry's explanation is pretty good but I think the integration with an ACID RDBMS is a little trickier than with BerkeleyDB and I think MySQL would not be a good choice for this. We have recently done our own RDBMS integration for a client and there are lots of pitfalls along the way, as Barry has hinted.
