There is the rossql package (<a href="http://www.ros.org/wiki/rossql">http://www.ros.org/wiki/rossql</a>). It's currently just a prototype, but already allows inserting and querying arbitrary ros message types, and is slated for further development over the next few months.<br>

Hi Ugo,<br>
<br>
The database_interface package that you found is what we are using<br>
internally for our database of objects for manipulation (also see the<br>
household_objects_database package, which uses this interface).<br>
<br>
A few weeks ago we had some discussion about database support going<br>
forward; the decision was that for "low-level" database integration,<br>
we might switch to an existing open-source tool (such as<br>
<a href="http://soci.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">http://soci.sourceforge.net/</a>) instead of the current<br>
database_interface. We have also identified the need for a<br>
higher-level ros-sql conversion tool, to go between ros messages and<br>
database entries. However, for the moment, no concrete plans for this<br>
have been laid out.<br>
<br>
For now, the database_interface is in use, documented, and I will be<br>
glad to provide support if you decide to use that. However, in the<br>
longer run, it might be replaced by other external tools.<br>
<br>
Matei<br>
