I don't see why you should get any less performance from your book sharing service, which, I asume, also is mostly key lookups. All without the hassle of Berkely DB. There is a time and place for Berkeley DB for sure, but to me it sounds like you are now making things hard on yourself for the sake of "premature optimization"! :) Cheers, Bas. -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
