Everything about Berkeley DB
Software library providing embedded database for key–value data
Berkeley DB (BDB) is an embedded database software library for key–value data, historically significant in open-source software. Berkeley DB is written in C, with API bindings for many other programming languages. BDB stores arbitrary key–data pairs as byte arrays and supports multiple data items for a single key. Berkeley DB is not a relational database, although it has database features, including database transactions, multiversion concurrency control and write-ahead logging. BDB runs on a wide variety of operating systems, including most Unix-like and Windows systems, and real-time operating systems. Wikipedia →
