&gt; We're working on using either CQL++ (if they will ever get back to
&gt; me!  grumble) or mSQL for our DB back end.  

I haven't confirmed this, but I've read several reports that both
MySQL and mSQL both have performance/scalability problems with large
databases.  You may want to investigate this area.

&gt; Did they write anything about the MUSH DB expiriement, btw?  I'd
&gt; love to get my hands on any documents they produced.

I've only read references to it.  I suspect that all the real
discussion occurred on Marcus Ranum's Wizard list, which was in many
ways the equivalent of MUD-Dev 10 years ago (and sadly seems to be
last as far as archives are concerned).

&gt; JC uses an OO DB, but not a pre-packaged one, if I recall.  There
&gt; has been a lot of discussion about OO DBs in the past, and some
&gt; minor discussion about RDBs.

My current implementation uses a linear TDBM descendant.  In moving
towards more of a persistent store model I've gone towards Persist++
and Texas munged into my prior TDBM-like model (and have ended up with
a right load of bollocks, if a set of interesting proof cases).
