 you must use the same compare function every time you access the
 database.

+
+Duplicate keys are entirely defined by the comparison function.
+In the case-insensitive example above, the keys: 'KEY' and 'key'
+would be considered duplicates, and assigning to the second one
+would overwirte the first. If duplicates are allowed for (with the
+R_DUPS flag discussed below), only a single copy of duplicate keys
+is stored in the database --- so (again with example above) assigning
+three values to the keys: 'KEY', 'Key', and 'key' would leave just
+the first key: 'KEY' in the database with three values. For some
+situations this results in information loss, so care should be taken
+to provide fully qualified comparison functions when necessary.
+For example, the above comparison routine could be modified to
+additionally compare case-sensitively if two keys are equal in the
+case insensitive comparison:
+
+    sub compare {
+        my($key1, $key2) = @_;
+        lc $key1 cmp lc $key2 ||
+        $key1 cmp $key2;
+    }
+
+And now you will only have duplicates when the keys themselves
+are truly the same. (note: in versions of the db library prior to
+about November 1996, such duplicate keys were retained so it was
+possible to recover the original keys in sets of keys that
+compared as equal).
