The thing is, I don't need SQL at all, just a persistent key/value
store. GDBM does precisely what I want, with, I'm assuming, next to no
overhead (though for the volume of data I'm dealing with, that
shouldn't be an issue). Wouldn't be too hard to slap a gdbm-like
interface atop an sqlite3 store, but if gdbm works it'd be nice to
stick with it.
