We use Michael Tokarev's tinycdb: * stable on disk format * has atomic updates * has a tiny library in case you want to link it statically * uses a lot less memory when the process count is large, i.e. scales well * rebuilding the database a few times a day is just fine with a few million records. If you go into tens or hundreds of millions, test rebuild times before putting into production Using cdb is by no means a MUST but don't dissmiss it out of hand. It has its uses. -- Eray
