It also seems the possibility of using Tokyo Cabinet is slim to none. It is very linux dependent, and I can't figure out how to get around that fact. No one has developed a port to Windows either.

On the Tokyo Cabinet site they say:

BTW, do you know Kyoto Cabinet? Actually, it is more powerful and convenient library than Tokyo Cabinet. At this distance of time, Kyoto Cabinet surpasses Tokyo Cabinet in every aspects. I strongly recommend you to use Kyoto Cabinet.

I know very little about the products themselves but it seems that Kyoto Cabinet would be a better bet anyway unless they are different products in a way I don't understand. It's made by the same people. Furthermore Kyoto Cabinet seems to have Windows support as well as pre-compiled binary packages.

Oh that's cool, I didn't realize Kyoto cabinent had a windows binary. I guess I will be using that instead of the scalingweb library.

The problem with Kyoto cabinet is that they require you to purchase a license if you do anything commercial. I may/may not want to sell my final product. Even though that is a long ways away I would like to avoid license restrictions.

After doing some research I found the Boost library (included with Ogre) has serialization libraries that can save and load stl data structures. I am thinking about using a few hash tables to store world data. the key will be a hexadecimal string representing the location. Hash tables should be very efficient.

However this B+Tree looks very promising. I will have to look into it.
