On: Poll: What database does your startup use?

Object-relational impedance mismatch crossed SQL and other tabular engines. Bad OLTP performance for complex operations ruled out key-value stores. Dismal performance ruled out XML databases. Also built-in schema-aware compression was a major drive.

It's a proof-of-concept other people will find useful when I get around to make it presentable.

Which language(s) are you using for your application and db?

C and some prototyping on JavaScript for the DB. C++, C, and JavaScript/V8 for the server-side application.
