Well, there are always B-Tree and C-Tree databases, which offer decent performance and search capabilities without the overhead of having to administrate a SQL database. The disadvantages would be the proprietary format and the complexity of the code. There are probably others that I can't think of at the moment. Actually, though, if I had the time, I would be inclined to convert the entire MUD to C++ (please don't tell me it IS C++ just because it can be compiled with a C++ compiler) and use a persistent object architecture that I have always been fond of. MUD coding lends itself well to object-oriented programming. I've written a couple of OO MUDs, though I've never had time to finish them. That lack of time is probably the main reason I play around with Circle.
