in reply to PostgreSQL cursors with Perl.
I used to keep it in plaintext files, but now I'd want to run some simple queries with it. Hence, I need a database.
What type of queries? What type of data structures/schema are you using?
FWIW, I've found BerkelyDB very nice for simple data structures, and very fast local queries. (I also find PostgreSQL very nice for more complicated data structures and queries...)
