A year ago I started this project using MySQL and one normal database
for the records.
I got corrupt record errors frequently, and repairing the corrupt
databases resulted in losing the last few records
That's when I found FB, but I also modified my client, so it can use
two database servers or one with two databases, because of my paranoia
of losing records.
And the shadow file get's all glitches the normal file does

but after this discussion, I'll kill the check DB, i'll rather check
the normal one X times for insertion and I'll use a shadow file :)
