				The DBM class provides a wrapper to a Unix-style Database Manager
				library.

				Dbm databases do not have tables or columns; they are simple key-value
				data stores, like a Ruby Hash except not resident in RAM. Keys and
				values must be strings.

				The exact library used depends on how Ruby was compiled. It could be
				any of the following:

				* The original ndbm library is released in 4.3BSD. It is based on dbm
				library in Unix Version 7 but has different API to support multiple
				databases in a process.
				* Berkeley DB versions 1 thru 6, also known as BDB and Sleepycat DB,
				now owned by Oracle Corporation.
				* Berkeley DB 1.x, still found in 4.4BSD derivatives (FreeBSD,
				OpenBSD, etc).
				* GDBM, the GNU implementation of dbm.
				* QDBM, another open source reimplementation of dbm.

				All of these dbm implementations have their own Ruby interfaces
				available, which provide richer (but varying) APIs.
