Questions about bsddb

Thanks for the info Nick. I plan on accessing the data in pretty much
random order, and once the database is built, it will be read only.
At this point Im not too concerned about access times, just getting
something to work. I've been messing around with both bt and hash with
limited success, which led me to think that maybe I was going beyond
some internal limit for the data size.It works great  on a limited set
of data, but once I turn it loose on the full set, usually several
hours later,  it either causes a hard reset of my machine or the HD
grinds on endlessly with no apparent progress.  Is there a limit to
the size of data you can place per key?

Thanks for the MySQL suggestion, I'll take a look.
