when you look at AnyDBM_File manpage of perl you will find following
table:
odbm ndbm sdbm gdbm bsd-db
---- ---- ---- ---- ------
Linkage comes w/ perl yes yes yes yes yes
Src comes w/ perl no no yes no no
Comes w/ many unix os yes yes[0] no no no
Builds ok on !unix ? ? yes yes ?
Code Size ? ? small big big
Database Size ? ? small big? ok[1]
Speed ? ? slow ok fast
FTPable no no yes yes yes
Easy to build N/A N/A yes yes ok[2]
Size limits 1k 4k 1k[3] none none
Byte-order independent no no no no yes
Licensing restrictions ? ? no yes no
i like the bsd-db most (you can copy the db between different machines,
and the license is openssl compatible). i'm using db.1.85 on NT (the port
was trivial and i can send the patches). i did not port the rec_no stuff
because it used mmap.
