For the Berkeley DataBase their is a C\C++ and Java version. If I
remember correctly, maybe 10 years, ago when Netscape opened their
source code. I found that Netscape used the Berkeley Database heavily if
not exclusively.
Others are pointing you to XML. Not sure how well that is supported in
php 4 as in php 5. Most Hosts use php 4. The learning curve is much
greater for XML than SQL. But in the long run it would make sense to
have XML experience.
