+is an easy\-to\-configure but obsolete database backend.  It does not
+offer the data durability features of the BDB and HDB backends and
+hence is considered deprecated in favor of these robust backends.
+LDBM uses lightweight non\-transactional data interfaces, such as those
+provided by GDBM or Berkeley DB, to store data.  It makes extensive
+use of indexing and caching to speed data access.
