Interfaces to any of the new-fangled 'Web 2.0' databases that use key-value pairs rather than the standard RDMS. A non-exhaustive list (in alphabetical order) would be
- Cassandra Project
- CouchDB
- MongoDB
- Project Voldemort
- Redis
- Tokyo Cabinet
and it would of course be nice if we had a DBI-alike abstraction on top of this. Jeff has started with RBerkeley but that use the older-school Oracle BerkeleyDB backend rather than one of those new things.
