Yes, I would agree, coming from a sql background,
since kde is going to have a unified database backend, 
it should be something in sql, that can handle allot of connection,
and queries without slowing down (server backend) that ties in all kde 
application that share the same api with the sql server.

yesterday standard of a database, is much different today,
back then, it was text documents....

now its video, audio, pdf, xls,
html docs, emails, text, photo, faxes, meta-data and tags ....etc..etc

This database server, needs to handle all media formats, and fields types,
and have all fields index, and ready to serve to any app, that call on it.

don't forget, about automatic maintenance, rebuilding index's,  report 
queries.. don't forget, about Apache using this database server either.
no more mysql... 

having it server up webpages, dynamically would be nice thing to...
this would open allot more doors for kde.

Richard
