While we are on the topic, quick question...
For a simple lookup, such as aliases (key : value), what is the approximate
breakpoint, in number of records, where it becomes better to use cdb instead
of a flat file?
I suppose it depends on the size of the records (and probably a bunch of stuff
like OS, disk type, CPU type, amount of free RAM, the phase of the moon,
etc.), but I am not looking for an exact answer, just a ball-park,
order-of-magnitude. 10? 100? 1000?
TIA,
