Check mage2mage system (somebody posted the URL here not long ago, or
I could email if you request). They specced out the costs for each
executed statement in the language. And I also loved the fact that to
create a permanent magical item, you have to bind a demon into it, and
to summon a demon, you have to sacrifice a living, sentient
creature...

Umm, I don't think this would work all that well. How do you say
'sphere of 50' radius around the orc' in SQL? For that matter, while I
like the idea of using an existing database code in a MUD server, I
think that interpretation of SQL is completely unnecessary, and far
too inefficient. I'd go for YOODA or Texas Permanent Store (or, if you
prefer to do things by hand, as I do, gdbm).
