Do I need to activate something during the compilation (configure) or is it
per default enabled in 2.1.11 ?

Marc

Its an improved database backend that is optimized for enumeration, which

Berkeley DB is not optimized for enumeration, and while flat can give you
fast enumeration, it is tremendously slow to update.
