Google is taking on an interesting challenge with Google Base. It took several years for IBM, Informix and Oracle to refine their universal server or universal database technology. One aspect is being able to support a variety of indexing schemes, not just the b-tree index that's efficient for traditional SQL tabular data. Servers had to be extensible with pluggable access methods and indexing schemes such as quadtrees and K-D-B trees. The web page for Google Base says it will store "all type of content" -- from protein sequences to items for sale.
