SQL Relay - pooling proxying load balancing for Perl / DBI and other platforms

<quote source="http://www.firstworks.com">
SQL Relay is a persistent database connection pooling, proxying 
and load balancing system for Unix and Linux supporting ODBC, 
Oracle, MySQL, mSQL, PostgreSQL, Sybase, MS SQL Server, IBM DB2, 
Interbase, Lago and SQLite with C, C++, Perl, Perl-DBD, Python, 
Python-DB, Zope, PHP, Ruby and Java APIs, command line clients, a 
GUI configuration tool and extensive documentation. The APIs 
support advanced database operations such as bind variables, 
multi-row fetches, client side result set caching and suspended 
transactions. It is ideal for speeding up database-driven 
web-based applications, accessing databases from unsupported 
platforms, migrating between databases, distributing access to 
replicated databases and throttling database access.
