I'm actually starting to write one of these for postgres, and apparently
there is another one in the works, from Thomas Hallgren.

There is at least one significant architectural issue here to deal with

Is it more desirable to have a single java vm and communicate via RPC,
or some other mechanism? ie sockets, or ? The alternative is to
instantiate a java vm for every connection, this could be onerous as
there would be considerable overhead for each java vm.

This will all go away as soon as java version 1.5 comes out but in the
meantime, what does everyone think

Comments are welcome.
