Wow, that's a lot of bad advice for one message!

I'm amazed to see anyone offering SysV IPC as a solution these days - it was a bad choice years ago when I last used it. So many limitations, so many traps, so much pain, so DAMN SLOW!

I have no idea what mmap would gain you here aside from shared storage. This is clearly a database problem, so you might as well use one. Most likely BDB and MySQL are both using mmap for you.

And for god's sake, don't write your own DB in C!

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.
