Hi Mark, I always recommand classic spooling over Berkeley DB, and I listed it in the SGE compile guide as the recommended compile options:
http://gridscheduler.sourceforge.net/CompileGridEngineSource.html Berkeley DB is not needed for ARCo, as the qmaster spool files are not read by other processes. The qmaster writes to the reporting file that is read by ARCo: http://gridscheduler.sourceforge.net/htmlman/htmlman5/reporting.html Berkeley DB does not understand SQL until recent versions, and I have not tested the latest version of Berkeley DB with SGE.
