For "serious" usage I would recommend you to use transactional mode. CDB
can not survive a crash or a disk full happening at the wrong time.
I recommend you to read the Oracle documentation linked from pybsddb
site. It is really well written, interesting and full of tips and
details you should know. Berkeley DB allows you a lot of tuning and you
better know where are the turn knobs.
You will be glad of this advice :-)
