RDBM's features into the base system.

Been there, tried that (SQLite), but unsuccessfully - people here REALLY
like text files :)

Thats funny because Berkeley DB and some other tools in the base
system write binary files. Now that being said if worst comes to
worst it is not that hard (in some ways at least) to layer a
non-command language RDBMS on top of Berkeley db (i.e. it has a
relational API but no user level commands). Basically all that one
needs to do is group keyed values into structured records vs. free
form data.
