SDBM_File produces a .dir and a .pag file for each database, so at least that wouldn't conflict with DB_File by default. I have several people running my app with this config, and I haven't heard of any issues at all. As far as I recall (it's been a while), the only limit is on the length of the individual entries, but this doesn't affect the current bayes implementation. > > You might also want to look at the note about SDBM here: > > http://qdbm.sourceforge.net/benchmark.pdf > Hmm..
