yes the thought has crossed my mind, the problem with SQL databases
is that they are not realy good at updating round robin archives,
du to transactional consistancy constraints they will create
internal fragmentation which will cause performance to suffer
dramatically.

BUT it would be an interesting thought to see, if we can abstract
the interface enough so that writing a 'plugin' for an sqlite
storage backend becomes easy ...

cheers
