That would be nice. Personally I always use a database abstraction layer of some kind so it's easy to choose your backend. As I mentioned, mysql and postgres would be a far cleaner setup for us in particular, and I'd like to see that here.

In defense of BDB, I have written a multi-process application (in C) that handles billions of transactions per year, and I have never encountered any database corruption. The application has been running non-stop for the past four years.

It wasn't always so, however. It took me some time to make sure I was doing everything correctly.

So perhaps what you're asking for is not a database that is more reliable, but rather something that is more tolerant of sloppy programming.

Personally, I'd like to see SKS re-implemented in C.
