Re: use SDBM_File like a databaseby bl0rf (Pilgrim) |

Plankton, although I don't have experience with SDBM_file after inspecting your code ( and POD ) I'll make a suggestion: The SDBM_file works by having a key and a value stored in a hash - and on file. In insert() you are basically overwriting the keys REQ,INQFILE etc. with keys that have the same names but diff values. I suggest that you do this: $h{uniqval} = $req. That way your whole reference is the value and you will have some key which represents it. The main thing is that your reference should only be the value
Now, the unique hash key concept is completely overkill
