I'm using replication and distributed transactions. Database encryption and page integrity checks. Abusing the master election BDB infrastructure for some evil but fun purposes. Managing databases in the 200 terabyte range. Locking & logging infrastructure to implement application logic integrated with database operation. MVCC everywhere.

Nothing I can show you without killing you after, though.

Independently of current bsddb usage profile, current 2.6 code support for distributed transactions and replication enables new application uses that sqlite can't match.

Since I'm taking full responsability over bsddb both in 2.6 and 3.0, I don't really see what the issue is. Past mistakes and maintenance nightmares WILL NOT be repeated.
