> SQLite-based interface to BDB

One thing I didn't get about SQL API for BDB, how does something like

    select * from users where name!='tom'
work ?

You really don't know or care that you're using BDB; it works (to the user) just like SQLite. (Behind the scenes, it's using BDB for the tables/indexes, and so would do various full- or partial- table scans much like SQLite's native on-disk format.)
