recno examples

I'd be curious to find out about reasons to use the record number database access method provided with berkeley db 1.85 and later. Although I understand HOW to use this data structure, I can't seem to understand WHY I could ever come to need such a thing. Maybe the problem is that I don't really understand and, when I do, I will know when to use recno tables. So please enlighten me... Received on Thu Jun 08 2000 - 00:00:00 CEST
