Hmmm... while I am at it, would anyone like PerlSQL to be available inside twiki? So that you could write an SQL query that applied to the topics of the current web.

PerlSQL is not an interface to a database like Oracle; instead, it allows you to use SQL on ordinary files, like TWiki topic pages.

As currently written, PerlSQL would not understand TWiki topic pages. In fact, it occurs to me that maybe TWiki topic pages should each be treated as a record, with the table being the web they are in.

On the con side, PerlSQL is an SQL subset, and SQL is not a very good language for querying linked databases. Something like XMLquery might be better.
