DBM::Deep has ACID transactions and can handle data as large as your Perl can address. If you have a 32-bit Perl, you'd limited to files of 2G. If you have a 64-bit Perl, then you have 64-bits of addressability. Beyond just having ACID transactions, it's PurePerl and handles Perl datastructures in a way that nothing else does. The point is that the rest of your program doesn't even know that it's working with a DBM::Deep datastructure vs. a normal Perl datastructure. My criteria for good software: Does it work? Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?	[reply]

Much bigger than which? Tie::LDAP for one can do all that. It's non-SQL. LDAP, including OpenLDAP, can span about as many computers as you can afford for your data center. It uses structured and schema-restricted data that can form a tree or a graph and not just a table. Using Tie::LDAP, you access it from the language. PostgreSQL is ACID, transaction based, and can be replicated, but it does use SQL. Most importantly, where's the patch?	[reply]
