Jonathan,

If you keep the entire DB in RAM, then do you have to save the entire DB
when you do a save, or can you save just one record?

The entire db must be saved to disk, which is done automatically whenever the last user logs out. I have contemplated adding a "save" command to SDB's vocabulary so developers would have more control over saving to disk. In the meantime, it's assumed any mission-critical SDB application would include battery backup at the server.

Another possibility is to add a log file so one could lose nothing more than the last transaction if the system goes down.
