And a big 'oops!' here. All my _other_ lmdb tables are fine. Of course, the one example I'm asking about I got sloppy and 'polluted' with regex. Thanks for catching that!

As the man page for lmdb_table says: the format > requires fixed keys, not regular expression patterns. Apparently the 'non-regex' matches in the file DO match. And, at least here, you're right , no errors raised @ postmap. Which would be nice. But, I should be checking my tables more closely, anyway. > In a regexp or pcre table, where that style of entry DOES work, you > would be very slightly better off without the explicit wildcards because > the regular expression engine doesn't need to test every character in > the source string.
