Really!? I am suprised to hear this. BDB is the backend recommended by opendlap. I have been using it on a LDAP db with >200,000 records for almost a year without any problem. This was an upgrade from gdbm, which I had problems. The db files in gdbm would grow and become unstable if I did not re-index every few months -- after re-indexing, the gdbm files would be 30-50% smaller than the previous ones, but contain the exact same number of entries. So far, I have not seen this problem with bdb. Using bdb does take a bit more work, as there are many options to configure, and the docs are a bit sketchy. Andreas
