Oops.  I thought that you were speaking about some existing stuff.

As you said the only thing that can be used as key in your gdbm file is key id
(which is unique by definition) or fingerprint.  All other information will be
got through scanning and search.  Correct?  So you will need an advanced search
algorithm anyway.
