It's lower level than those. This makes it faster, but you can't use a
query/DDL language to manipulate its databases (well, not easily; it could
be done if someone really wanted to) and it's not client/server. For
something like RPM this is good because you *really* don't want to have to
fire up a database server to install a system.
