Has anyone with a significant sized project converted a C database library
to SQL? I love the high level, power, and portablility of SQL but due to
performance setbacks, "WE" cannot use SQL.

Try some benchmarks with more than 10 users sometime. Remember, the end user
cares only about the performance (raw speed) of their applications. They
could care less about power, portability, and maintainablility of source.

Disclaimer: this opinion assumes the users do not get into development
            for themselves.

Remember, the users are the funders...
