                               An Overview of
                                 Berkley DB

                                     by

                               David Segleau
                         <dave.segleau at oracle.com>

    Berkeley DB originated at the University of California,
    Berkeley as part of the transition (1986 to 1994) from 4.3BSD
    to 4.4BSD and of the effort to remove AT&T-encumbered code.
    It has evolved a great deal since then and is now part
    of Oracle where it is distributed with source code under
    a dual use license.

    Berkeley DB (BDB) is a computer software library that provides
    a high-performance embedded database, with bindings in C, C++,
    PHP, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl, Smalltalk, and other languages.
    BDB stores arbitrary key/data pairs as byte arrays, and supports
    multiple data items for a single key. BDB can support thousands
    of simultaneous threads of control or concurrent processes
    manipulating databases as large as 256 terabytes, on a wide
    variety of operating systems including most Unix-like and
    Windows systems, and real-time operating systems.
