Pavel,

Will it be a fairly simple matter to hack in an alternate database
into the MOO server?  I would very much like to use my company's
database (UniData) for an experimental private MOO.  If your database
read and write calls are done in just a few places, this should be a
simple matter for me.  If not... I won't even try.

At the moment, the server checkpoints the database in a very idiomatic fashion
and it would *not* be an easy matter to swap in another DB implementation.  In
the new, disk-based server, I could imagine trying to make this easy.  Is there
an industry standard interface for databases?  If so, then I could try to
follow that interface in my code.  If not, what do you suggest I do?
