So you are saying, if I can't run the wiki, I won't be able to export it and
thus can't move the server to a new platform?

I assume, that once its running in a "real" database, I will not need to
"export" it, but instead I can just use the normal database
backup/restore.... right?

ouch, how can that be?  thats nothing, I know people who want to upload
multi-gigabyte files (rather than posting them on a DVD via snail mail).

I wrote a little C++ cgi app with libcurl, and that uses a streaming
technique so the data is streamed out to the http client, so it doesn't
require any more ram than to load the index of files.

Can't you do something similar in Java?   Don't load the file off the
harddisk, instead stream it from the harddisk/database.
