(this isn't mail in UNIX mail sense.) so, as you see, there is a lot of data base interaction both amoung tasks and threads within those tasks. please respond via mail. i don't get news.

You can just write your application so that there is one particular thread that does all the DBMS interactions. The other threads would communicate with it, via whatever inter-thread communication your operating system provides. So one thread might be gather some mail from a serial line while a second thread is dealing with the database. When the first one is done, it queues up a request to the second one, which will immediately or eventually pick up the request and deal with the database system.
