Hi people,

I'm writting a small dictionary and I need an efficient (hard disk
space, and speed) way to store the text, I tried Berkeley db but it
stores a 2 mig of text as a 5 mig of binary data and I found that it
doesn't use types (every thing is binary data) making things more
complicated. I need an alternative, any suggestions.
