It is not excellent, but it is small. It has a limited SQL engine, and
limited data types. It's fine for very small databases, but for any
serious work I'd suggest getting Postgres95. This is a =real= OORDBMS
with SQL. It works great, and has a good Perl interface (pgperl) which
makes it easily interfaceable to just about anything.
