Note that I'm talking about PyCS here, not PyDS -- I don't know if it
would make sense to port PyDS to a server-based DB.  SQLite might make
sense.  This is Georg's domain anyway ;)

If I do change PyCS, of course I'll use the DB API, so porting between
SQL DBs should be possible.  Every DB has its own interpretation of
the SQL standard though, so it might not always be _easy_.

Cheers,
Phil
