Speaking of embedding...  Here's an interesting idea:  As many of you
know, there are specialized languages in RDBMS servers for defining
stored procedures, triggers, constraints, etc... wouldn't it be
nice if that language was ruby?  That is, ruby built into the
RDBMS?  The nice thing is that all of your apps would automatically
have to adhere to whatever rules you have instituted, but you don't
have to build it into each app.

first candidates would be mysql and postgressql because source is
available.

Is the idea too crazy to even consider?

Well, I'll be offline for at least the next 24 hours on travel, so
if I don't chime in on any answers, you know why.
