Could you do *what*? Do you mean Berkely DB? Berkely DB isn't really a DBMS. It's more of a flat-file database. It's not even relational, it's key->value based. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_DB One could argue that MySQL isn't a real DBMS too but I won't get into that ;-) Anyway it's very difficult to answer your questions without knowing what your requirments are (how large is "huge", how many simultaneous users, anticipated queries/sec etc.)
