Hi! Sorry for bad english, and, maybe this is a beginner question:
I'am trying to write my own small NNTP(Usenet)-daemon (experimental - just want to increase my knowledge). What whould be the best method for storing articles in files divided by group (one group, one file)? I want a good performance, ram usage should be small. Is BerkeleyDB a solution? Or writing file-access with streams and a index-file? Next problem would be the locking of files (can BDB handle this for me?). I'am using Linux and FreeBSD. Never programmed software for big files with locking before. thanks in advance, Christian -- Christian Muellerke, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.cmuellerke.de Seite zum Webauthoring: http://www.mywebresource.de _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
