Not sure whether it was specifically a database backend, I think it was just a flat file (argue amongst yourselves about the database or not nature of a flat file!), but Turnpike used a similar format back in the mid to late 90's for email. Simply adding tags to your emails and creating a view or virtual folder (can't remember the term used back then) allowed you to view your email however you liked - by sender, tag, combination of tags, etc.. A nice client of its day. Oddly, whilst I liked the feature in Turnpike, I still can't feel comfortable with the Opera mail client. I think I felt in control of the Turnpike one, whereas the Opera one tries to be intelligent and I've not developed confidence in its decisions yet!!
On the mouse gestures side of things, I'm afraid its the first thing I check is switched off in Opera. I get annoyed far too often when something happens I didn't want to happen because I've unintentionally triggered a gesture.
