Berkeley DB questions

[Christiaan den Besten]

Talking about berkeley, it might be nice to start thinking about a more 
efficient way to insert/select/expire data from OVDB databases .... or are 
we the only ones requiring about 3 hours to run an expire-run? :) Not even 
talking about the 'hickups' in handling the incoming feed we see during the 
expire (due to locking I suppose .... )

bye,
Chris

Hi,

I see that Berkeley DB version is currently 4.6.18 and I wonder whether
something better than:

/m4/berkeleydb.m4
        for version in BerkeleyDB.4.4 BerkeleyDB.4.3 BerkeleyDB.4.2 \
                       BerkeleyDB.4.1 BerkeleyDB.4.0 \
                       BerkeleyDB.3.3 BerkeleyDB.3.2 BerkeleyDB.3.1 \
                       BerkeleyDB.3.0 BerkeleyDB ; do
[...]
        for version in db44 db43 db42 db41 db4 db3 db2 ; do

could be done...


Moreover, in INSTALL, there is:

=item B<--with-berkeleydb=PATH>
Enables support for Berkeley DB (2.x through 4.2.x)

Well, is it sure that all versions between 2.x and 4.2.52 are working fine?
And are there any news or feedback for 4.3.x, 4.4.x, 4.5.x and 4.6.x with 
INN?

I also wonder how can all these versions be tested efficiently...
There are too many...  (or maybe is it only necessary to test with one
minor version only?)
