Oh, that's a pitty. I really like the postgresql rdbms. But on the other hand 
I can understand that it can be difficult for the developers to maintain an 
interface for different databases.

What does "mysql embedded server" mean? Is it a reduced version of the mysql 
database server or is it called embedded beacause it's integrated into 
amarok2's source code?
