[Sks-devel] Has anyone looked into bdb alternatives?

[Alex Roper]

I've been having terrible corruption issues (need to run reconstruction every day), as I 
usually notice with bdb-based applications. I was wondering if anyone has experimented 
with patching sks to use something more reliable like mysql, postgres, sqlite, etc?

mysql and postgres are exceptionally nice because then I wouldn't need to back up the 
database manually, it would just be rolled into our normal backups, but even sqlite would 
be an improvement.

Al "as a cs student, the thought of a single threaded single process spinlocking the db 
engine is just sickening"
