# README for dbtool 1.9.1 (21/11/2025)
|
|
|
|
dbtool can be used to store and retrieve data in a key/value
|
|
format in a hash database. Perl compatible regular expressions
|
|
are supported both for storing and retrieving of data. It's
|
|
main advantages are the ability to maintain huge amounts of
|
|
data and speed.

# Requirements
