It looks like the Berkeley DB C API does support getting multiple keys at once using the DB_MULTIPLE_KEY flag:

http://pybsddb.sourceforge.net/api_c/dbc_get.html

It's not apparent to me though that this functionality is accessible through the Berkeley DB Perl module.

As I understand `DB_MULTIPLE_KEY` would still retrieve complete entries, i.e. keys plus values, so any performance improvement (if the functionality was available, which I think it isn't) would likely only be marginal.	[reply] [d/l]
