Lightweight Databases

`GDBM`

GDBM does not have these data size problems
I used to use it all the time
Now I don't; here's why
In 1998 I was using it for a web user database for a major client
- The key was the user name and the value was the user's information
We had about 320,000 registered users
One day, the firstkey and nextkey routines stopped producing all the keys
- They would generate about 1,700 of the usernames and then stop
- I couldn't get the list of our users!
