What's wrong with using the appropriate tool for the task at hand? If
you don't need the features of a database don't use one!
If you've got modest DB needs look for an appropriate DB:
gdbm: http://www.gnu.org/software/gdbm/
Berkeley DB: http://www.sleepycat.com/
Personally if I only had one table I'd be making my own, highly tuned,
access routines and storage...
