If all you need is dbm, an RDBMS will be a lot larger, more complicated, and possibly more expensive than your need dictates -- but there are still a couple of arguments for using one: you'll have safe access to the data over the network, and you won't have to transition to an RDBMS when you later discover the need to do more than you can do with dbm.
