Oracle Berkeley DB


	Oracle Berkeley DB is the industry-leading open source, embeddable, key-value database that provides developers with fast, reliable, local persistence with zero administration. Oracle Berkeley DB is a library that links directly into your application. Your application makes simple function calls, rather than sending messages to a remote server, eliminating the performance penalty of client-server architectures. Oracle Berkeley DB eliminates the overhead of SQL query processing, enabling applications with predictable access patterns to run faster.

	BENEFITS
	Extreme Performance—eliminates client-server communication and SQL processing delays for applications with static access patterns High Reliability and Availability—full transactional semantics ensures data integrity and recovery from failures, and replication provides high availability and scalability Zero Administration—applications perform database administration, eliminating the need for a DBA and allowing continuous, unattended operation Low TCO—extreme performance reduces hardware costs and being embedded eliminates DBA costs

	NEW IN RELEASE 4.8
	Increased Performance—improved concurrency for multi-threaded applications on SMP systems New db_sql tool—automatic generation of Berkeley DB application code from SQL for faster development and migration New APIs—support for C#/.NET and C++ Standard Template Library (STL)
