Guile does not support > any database. That is the biggest problem for Guile as a Server > Scripting Language. Guile does support some databases. On the developers' page there is support for gdbm (by Andy Archibald) and mysql (the interface being called `squile'), and with slib it supports a flexible scheme-written relational database management system that can use arbitrary base table implementations (alists, hashes, trees or whatever). Squile and guile-gdbm however are not yet updated for guile-1.3 . I once tried to interface leap, a copylefted relational algebra system to guile , but had to give up because leap itself is in rapid development yet. Klauis Schilling
