I have wondered several times about a built-in ODBC connectivity in the SDL
(rather than an embedded database). I guess a lot of code for that is
already in the PHP source. About possible uses, the way I'm using an
Oracle/Access/POV-Ray 3.1 combo is fairly atypical but being able to store
things in databases is always handy, particularly in the scientific /
technical field. Coupled with a good SDL library for charts and graphs that
could be interesting for people who are into scientific visualisation.
