From everything I have heard, BerkeleyDB would probably be fine as well. I did not mention it because I have not personally used it. I have used both mysql and postgres, so I feel more comfortable recommending them. BerkeleyDB is fast, but has a couple of drawbacks. I don't believe it has network access, so if you want to access the database from a different system, it might not be the best choice.	[reply]
