This is great, maybe I'll try to improve bashdb

Thanks, that's something I didn't know!

I'll fix it later, and change the wording to say that these are properties of a database transaction

One day :)

Oh you're right I'll add that in later.

I would go : 1. count records 2. make copy 3. insert 4. ensure records = records + 1 5 if records != records +1 or file can be grepped, stat, filesize, then assume is corrupted and rollback to copy

Use `look` to get `O(log(n))` lookups (writes are still slow, but you could use a multi-level chain I guess). `join` does not use binary search even though it could have.

no waaay, I have never seen look before, thanks!

You're right this was purposefully left out for brevity, in dbeel it is handled.

Ah, makes sense :)

Thanks :)
