Well, no, it's not, in fact I'm not sure that SQLite is fast enough
for our application, even using an in-core database and precompiled
queries. We're comparing SQLite and Metakit right now, and the advantage
of SQLite is that we can share more code between the front-end and the
back-end.

Well, doing data management "right" kind of depends on what kind of
software you're writing. I don't think I'd want to use Postgres in
a handheld or the front end of a control system, even when it's got
a UNIX base.
