its your network (I hope for your sake).. its up to you how efficient it is.CDB is very fast.
yes it is, if you only have a small number of users.
We use Michael Tokarev's tinycdb:
- stable on disk format
- has atomic updates
- has a tiny library in case you want to link it statically
- uses a lot less memory when the process count is large, i.e. scales well
- rebuilding the database a few times a day is just fine with a few million records. If you go into tens or hundreds of millions, test rebuild times before putting into production
Using cdb is by no means a MUST but don't dissmiss it out of hand. It has its uses.
