Does a PBL > database shrink when entries are removed? PBL and BDB are functionally identical as far as SP is concerned. However, in my personal experience PBL was slightly faster and required significantly less maintenance. BDB databases tend to grow endlessly even when the net number of terms in the database remains constant. PBL doesn't have that problem. There are some platforms on which PBL won't compile but for BSD, Linux, etc PBL is the way to go IMHO.
