Description
SpatiaLite and RasterLite have recently been released: http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite/ RasterLite supports pyramids and tiles. Sample files available here: http://download.gfoss.it/ Both are extremely interesting, filling up a gap of functionality (a personal geoDB, raster and vector) in the freeGIS arena. The vector part is now quite usable thanks to the QGIS data provider (plus spatialite-gis), but to have both fully integrated into the freeGIS stack the right way to go is to plug their support into GDAL/OGR. I see a number of advantages in this, eg all grass rasters could be moved to a RasterLite db and accessed for analyses through r.external. Are there plans to implement this? As the APIs are quite simple, it looks an easy task.

RasterLite support (read-only for now) has been added in trunk (>= r17706). Just needs linking against sqlite3 with rtree support enabled. See http://gdal.org/frmt_rasterlite.html
SpatiaLite support has recently been added as an enhancement of the SQLite driver in trunk (1.7.0dev). See http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_sqlite.html
RasterLite seems to be a very new thing. At first sight, it might have similar functionnality as the ongoing effort of WKTRaster project. The writing of a driver for WKTRaster is an ongoing effort by Jorge Arévalo. See http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/WKTRasterDriver
