Okay, I found a snag: the 511 bytes limit on the key size. Berkeley
DB's disk format does not impose a limit on key or value size (at
least for B-trees). For some applications, this will introduce new
error conditions, and working around this limitation requires
reworking the database schema.
True. There's a bit of leeway here, we can raise the key size to ~1/2 the page
size if necessary. But ultimately, we don't support keys that don't fit in a
single page and there are no plans to add such support. If we see enough apps
that can't live with this, we may revisit the situation.
