This aroused my curiosity because I have to switch some Perl=20
programs written long ago with various flat-file data tables=20
accessed via howe-brew parsing to something more transferable.=20
None of my uses has more than a few hundred thousand records,=20
and most have far fewer.

Would you care to say a bit more about your preference? Do you=20
use the Perl DBI with SQLite? If something that reflects your=20
views can be read elsewhere, please point.

CAUTION: I'm not interested in enflaming a huge debate about the=20
merits and demerits of these and other database systems, their=20
developers, companies that "own" them, etc. Just a bit of=20
practical curiosity...

Thanks.
