New Have you looked at the O'Reilly database war stories?

There might be some ideas in there; O'Reilly talks to Flickr, craigslist, Google File System, etc.

New Yes, I've seen those before.
The problem with war stories is that they are often applicable only to a small range of problems.

New I'm really starting to think there's something to my idea
The one about a return to mainframe-style programming.
The problem with war stories is that they are often applicable only to a small range of problems.
And frame apps -- and associated data storage architectures -- were typically written to solve a small range of problems. "Small" frequently meaning "one".

New It's a solution to a specific problem
If small and fast is more important than rich feature support (eg: foreign key constraints, some triggers, some join syntax, etc.), and if you can do all permissions through filesystem configuration and application code, then you can use it. It's great for embedded, standalone and single-user systems.
