Gramps 5.0 comes with a new, alternative database backend called DB-API. The default database will be the old standard Berkeley DB (often abbreviated as BSDDB).  Gramps 5.0 is the initial test of the DB-API backend. If it works well, then Gramps 5.1 will may make it the default.
What is DB-API? DB-API is a very loose standard to connect to "SQL engines". DB-API doesn't standardize any of the SQL, but merely standardizes the ability to connect, query, and get results back. You can read more about the [https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/ DB-API specification].
