Well, BIND has traditionally loaded its zone data from files, but there
are commercial products built on top of BIND (Lucent's QIP and Nortel's
NetID, for instance), that use a RDBMS backend instead. With BIND 9,
there are hooks that allow one to use any database one wishes as a
backend, assuming it meets certain requirements.
For ad-hoc querying, I would think the resolver library interface is
much more lightweight than ODBC etc.
