Well there's the Free Database List at <http://solar.flare.net/FreeDB/>
And countless commercial webpages...
GDBM:
Advantage -
very, very fast access
Disadvantage -
requires a lot of low-level supporting code (it's contextually stupid)
data corruption is a snap
recovery (sheesh do it yourself)
not threaded aware
I've been looking at TDBM recently as a possible alternative plug-in to my
relational solution. I used Watcom-SQL in my early implementation and
have since chenged to Borlands Paradox. I can plug in Oracle, MS-Access,
DB2, or several dozen others if I'm so inclined (ODBC compliant). I like
having the DB implementation totally independent of the server.
