If you don't mind, I'd like to have a look at it. It could be an
interesting source of ideas. :-)

I think that the ability to store code as data would make triggers
and stored procedures very easy to add; REBOL could even make
possible to do new and interesting things...

I mainly wonder about speed, because using an interpreted language
will always give some penalty wrt native DBMS. Would the greater
simplicity of the REBOL approach justify such a penalty, in your
opinion?
