The most important part for a library like that, is the ability to have the table stored in a file, and only partially mapped into memory. So
It's important, but I wouldn't say "most important". For many tasks having the ability to serialize tables should be enough.
Serialize tables is nice and many memory-based apps can benefit but for most databases persistence is a must. I agree with previous statement that persistence is the top priority. RML has tackled this with a separate persist library that provides the persistent STL containers. Also shmem I think provides persistent stl containers using mmap files (persist library even has benchmarks comparing to mysql)
