But unlike Firebird and PostgreSQL one can rather simply port SQLite to a
new platform. And I also like the idea of virtual tables. So in that sense
the ZMSQL you posted might be a compareable alternative if now one only
adds support for virtual tables, adds some other nice features like
triggers (or do they exist already?) and improves the performance :D
