in thread Need DBM file that holds data up to 50,000 bytes

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
