[ic] Storing variable database in SQL database

[Tim Nelson]

Instead of storing variable.txt in a DBM file, is it possible to store 
it in an DBI/SQL database?  This seems like a catch-22 since those 
variables are not (or are they?) loaded while the catalog is being 
configured and they are referenced later in my catalog.cfg.  I know I 
have seen a post like this before, but my feeble search-challenged 
fingers just can't find it. Thanks.
