Re^2: Need DBM file that holds data up to 50,000 bytes

I agree with that statement for BerkeleyDB, but I wrote Tie::Hash::DBD as I ran into serious limitations when I used DB_File on a system with low resources. Those limitations caused the complete hash to be invalid.

I haven't come up against those limitations myself, but then again I migrated all of my DB_File usage to BerkeleyDB some time ago.	[reply]

Slow old HP-UX system with 50+ users, just 2 Gb of RAM, less than 2 Gb of disk space available and a process running for over 48 hours. Dropping in Tie::Hash::DBD to use the already open Oracle database (server was another machine) caused the process to finish instead of crash. It was a bit slower, but at least it finished. You can say RAM is cheap nowadays, but one cannot force customers to upgrade machines. Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply]
