Berkeley DBM is a subset of Berkeley DB, supported for backwards
compatibility.

Transactions are never simple. Berkeley DB supports full commit and rollback
(redo logs and so on) and is on the whole very feature-ful.
This may give me the oportunity to implement the X-Open complient ATMI hooks
in Goldwater, since Goldwater was designed to be able to support transactions
across service calls locally and across-machines. Across machines is tricky
but managable.
Anyway, that's going off topic as we don't need transaction support right now
(the VRS will though).

Thought so.
Most GNU/Linux (at least) distributions come with Berkely DB of some sort
don't they?
Could people check their flavours of Linux/Mac OS X/random un*xs ????
Thanks
