[slang-users] Ok, I guess I will ask this here ....

[Ben Duncan <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am busily writing away on my multi-key,multi user, variable field, variable
length embeded database engine for my SLAG project. Keep in mind,
SLAGDB is going to be a string based file manager, so everthing is
stored as a string.

I am cutting/ripping/borrowing code form many different FOSS projects.

Now , one of the things that is puzzling me, is the usage &
management of variable length keys in a NODE.

  I know that you have a heap size that is pretty fixed to use inside
of a NODE, but how does one go about easily working with the strings
and using them as a key in such an environment ?

OR maybe, I should just go with a fixed array size of say 30-60 bytes
for each key value (not the NODE pointer stuff) and be done with it
since NODES are just roadmaps ....

Any and ALL HELP would be GREATLY appreciated ...

Thanks ...
