David, I have been looking into using a SQL for a backend database.  I had the
same thought, the client could be used to access a central database server.
Although I have used MySQL before, I've never actually written a program to
directly interact with MySQL.  It might take a while before SQL is supported but
it is on my list of things I would like to see implemented in GGB.
