I went to the piggydb.net website, thinking there might be a forum there where users might have brought up the issue of scalability. Didn’t find any forum. Daisuke seems to be working steadily on piggydb - he’s up to version of 6.13. You might try asking him about scalability .. perhaps by posting a comment to one of his blog posts. In his “about” post, “scalable” is one of the first words he uses to describe piggydb. But in a comment, he says he doesn’t plan to implement substring searching because of scalability concerns:

Hi,
this piece of software is quite uselful to me … thank you. It should be fine to be able to search substring not just exact match of the searched word. Do you plan to implement this ?

Hi Milan,
Thank you for your feedback.
I don’t have a plan to implement searching substring because I think it won’t scale (maintain certain performance) when your database grows larger.
