Hi,

I understand that the DB size has an upper limit set by the call to mdb_env_set_mapsize . I wonder what is the best strategy for growing the size.

i'm not sure i'd ever consider attempting to constantly adjust a max size setting ahead of growth of the database to make much sense. that isn't what that setting is for. that setting is a "security" setting. a limit to protect the environment [e.g. the os], not something you should pick a value for based on your best attempt at guessing how large the db might get.
