Just saw this new youtube video pop up in my google alerts. "How to Create a 32-Bit Database with 64-Bit LMDB: A Step-by-Step Guide"

I won't link it because it's just wrong and doesn't deserve any views. It's clearly AI-generated garbage. (You cannot create a 32 bit DB with a 64-bit #LMDB library. Period, end of story.) It lists a couple stackoverflow links as sources and of course, stackoverflow is garbage too.

Avoid.

You can compile a 32bit version on a 64bit machine, but that's only useful if everything else you're building is 32bit.

You can also compile a 32bit version that specifically supports 64bit DBs. It is not the default build since 64bit support on a 32bit machine is complicated and necessarily slower than native 32bit support. Neither of these two options are what the video claims to show you.
