Even if SQLite is more robust than Berkeley DB, I don't think you could recover anything from a corrupt database. Plain text will always turn out better in terms of disaster recovery. If performance is an issue, a text file can - just like a bdb file - be indexed. Corrupt indexes can be regenerated, but corrupt databases cannot. -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.
