NoSQL and key-value DBMS's
lazarus / 16-Databases

So far I haven't noticed much (any?) support for key-value (e.g.
BerkeleyDB) and "NoSQL" relational database (like MongoDB) based
systems.

The latter especially seem they would fit quite nicely into the
FPC/Lazarus database classes (like TDataset), which would be very
usable for "fat clients" which are easily constructed in Lazarus. The
former ones are a great idea for embedded data storage for
applications, and simpler to use than say, SQLite.

Has anyone started some work on that? Are there at least Pascal
bindings available for the above quoted DBMS's?

Not as far as I know (2x)

Great

I guess it wouldn't be too hard to create just the bindings for FPC,
but creating a connector class for Lazarzs would take much more time.
I would go for it if only I had time.™

I wonder how should a key-value database be adapterd for Lazarus; the
existing database classes are all for relational DB systems, and I
don't know of any such example...
