it even has an "in memory" sql server module, Gadfly, by using that you
won't have to install & maintain a seperate SQL server

for most data though, an sql server is a sledgehammer, you could most
probably get away with formatted plain text files and the directory tree.

I'm in thr process of moving my MySQL driven website to text files in
directories and my codebase is actually shrinking!
