[Phoenix-pm] PERL DBI

[Anthony R. Nemmer]

Makes me pine away for the good old days, when I used Model 204 on IBM 
mainframes, a non-relational database system that could easily handle 
hundreds of millions of records.  Too bad they never ported it over to 
Unix or Window, it was a great database engine.  Had a "User Language" 
database programming language with database and screen primitives that 
was very Perlish, too.  Model 204 used inverted trees for indexing, so 
queries were simply bitwise and'ing and or'ing bitmaps together. 
Response time for a query on a 900 million record database was typically 
under 3 seconds.
