Except SQLite, is there any other choice for the database?
Comparing to nova, glance, etc, what is the characteristics of swift in database management? Why do they adopt SQLAlchemy? Why does swift not?

No, swift requires and depends on sqlite. You can't swap it out for anything else.

You should take a peek at - http://swift.openstack.org/overview_architecture.html#container-server

Can you help with this problem?
