RE; mmap and EVEN MORE questions ...

[Ben Duncan]

Ok, looking over tdb, it looks like it MAY not be what I want.

First, in accounting applications, a process may have the same file open
multiple times (An A/R Aging report/screen is a prime example of this).
What happens to the mmap if you need to have such a function?

Tdb DOES not allow but a single instance process per process of a file open.
It blocks multiple open attempts from the same PID.

Soo... I am looking at now GDBM with MY own extensions, removing ALL of the
ndbm / dbm compatabilty and adding locking semaphores and a secondary
file for B-Tree indexing.

Any Suggestions comments or other notes WOULD be greatly appreciated.

As always, thanks ...
