Hello, I'm using PHP's dba flatfile mode to maintain a flatfile database with a few records. It works good, but I was wondering about how it works. I notice that after deleting a record, only what I take to be the key part of the record is removed (the dba_* functions now longer read this record although it remains in the flatfile), also when I update a record the key part of the record is removed, and another record is added with a new key. Is this how the flatfile mode is supposed to work? Is there somewhere I can find a little more on the inner-workings of this? It seems like it could be relatively easy to debug if it became corrupted (as it is a textfile). Thanks in advance, Fidel
