I hardly have the time to look into that topic.  However I'd welcome a
unified inteface very much (if it's not too simple, like that one
http://groups.google.de/groups?q=oleg+scheme+database+group:comp.lang.scheme.*&hl=de&lr=&ie=UTF-8&group=comp.lang.scheme.*&selm=72nj6p%249n%241%40nnrp1.dejanews.com&rnum=1
which is great for one shot programms, but hardly suited for performance
sensitive apps).

But such an interface is not chicken only.  Maybe it#s worth to think of
a srfi? (As a srfi I'd welcome an implementation like Oleg's, based on a
command line tool.)
