tiOPF has a SqlDB (included with the Free Pascal Compiler) backend. As
it stands (in the public repository), SqlDB support in tiOPF is more
geared towards SqlDB+Firebird.

I already have a private branch where I refactored the SqlDB backend
[which wasn't much work] to support PostgreSQL, MySQL etc. I never
made that code public, because I haven't implemented the unit tests
for those yet. I'll try and find some time this week to implement the
tests suite and make that code public.

It's not really complex to use, it is just a new tool you need to
learn (just like any other development tools or frameworks).

tiOPF has plenty of demos - which were designed to be very simplistic,
to teach one simple thing at a time. It also has some "real world"
style demos, which are more complex. There are lots of documentation.
A very good history or knowledge base of information in the support
newsgroups (I recommend you download them for offline searching -
Mozilla Thunderbird works well).  And if you still get stuck, simply
post a message in the tiopf.support newsgroup.
