database

I want to crawl a website and store the content on my computer for later analysis. However my OS file system has a limit on the number of sub directories, meaning storing the original folder structure is not going to work.

Suggestions?

Map the URL to some filename so can store flatly? Or just shove it in a database like sqlite to avoid file system limitations?
