.SSS Side note about indexes
DODB presents a few possible indexes (basic indexes, partitions and tags) which respond to an obvious need for fast searches.
Though, their implementation via the creation of symlinks is the result of a certain vision about how a database should behave in order to provide a practical way for users to sort the entries.
The implementation can be completely changed.
Also, other kinds of indexes could

be implemented in addition of those presented.
