Summary

Description: Embedded database and hash file library
Source: http://www.sleepycat.com/

Support

This package is available for all platforms. This package is unsupported and provided on an as-is basis.

Description

Berkeley DB is a programmatic toolkit that provides high-performance built-in database support for desktop and server applications and for information appliances.

The Berkeley DB access methods include B+tree, Extended Linear Hashing, Fixed and Variable-length records, and Queues. Berkeley DB provides full transactional support, database recovery, online backups, and separate access to locking, logging and shared memory caching subsystems.

The above is taken from the SleepyCat Software web site.

Changes

2.7.7 2002-08-22

This version is now the default.

Usage

This version of Berkeley DB is now the default for all platforms. This step is taken to bring pubsw closer in line with the more popular unix vendor distribution and to ensure a future upgrade path. This build does include a version 1.85 API compatibility layer.

See

file:/usr/pubsw/doc/Libraries/db2/docs/ref/program/convert.html

for details on how to upgrade your Berkeley DB 1.85 applications.
