I have to agree with Trimbach, although my original post has absolutely no intention to compare Berkeley DBMs with the "database" I mentioned. (That itself could be a very interesting topic for discussion, but that is beyond what I originally asked. Personally, I don't think it should be a surprise, nowadays, to see people differentiate Berkley DBMs from conventional databases.)

It is too far from a good idea, to encourage newbies to start their database adventure with Berkeley DBMs.

When you learn, you start from the point where fits with your time in the history.

"no matter their obvious utility."

Hm...is it not true that, at least up to this day, there are more people need database access than people who need SOAP? but yet we have SOAP modules in core.

Update:

See below chromatic's post for some interesting facts.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
