I've been waiting, but now I need it so I'll go with it and
improve in the future.

That's not my goal. I'll use MySQL when I'll need these features;
but if I'm writing something like an address book, but complicated
enough to require a relational db, I want to use something like
dbms.r.

Really small? Compared to dbms.r? ;-)

Too much complexity. Let's stay simple!

I still think a small REBOL dbms can be useful. I've been using
MySQL a lot, and I'm not going to abandon it... but it's not
always the best solution IMHO.
