Abstract

Berkeley DB is an Open Source embedded database system with a number of key advantages over comparable systems. It is simple to use, supports concurrent access by multiple users, and provides industrial-strength transaction support, including surviving system and disk crashes. This paper describes the design and technical features of Berkeley DB, the distribution, and its license.
