BDB 4.3.28 has other facet like
a) crash when zero diskspace.
b) if there is abrupt crash then recovery can fail.
also the time taken during recover is very long.
c) foot print is too big.
d) Performance is very good on most platforms.
e) Support is not very responsive.
f) Cannot copy the file directly should use dump and load facility which is
again time consuming.
g) If used in multiprocess env then abrupt crash
will render the application behaviour unpredictable due to locks held in shared
area.
Sqlite is stable.In comparison using sqlite in-mem db is hassle free. Support
is excellent.
Sqlite has RTree module which is similar to your requirement. U can check more
from the mail archives.
Finally it depends on usage context and in our case we found sqlite more
suitable.

Subject: [sqlite] Using Sqlite in place of BDB
