Berkeley DB enables the development of custom data management solutions, without the overhead traditionally associated with such custom projects. Berkeley DB provides a collection of well-proven building-block technologies that can be configured to address any application need from the hand-held device to the datacenter, from a local storage solution to a world-wide distributed one, from kilobytes to petabytes.

Download Berkeley DB and review the source code, choose your build options and then compile the library in the configuration most suitable for your needs. The Berkeley DB library is a building block that provides the complex data management features found in enterprise class databases. These facilities include high throughput, low-latency reads, non-blocking writes, high concurrency, data scalability, in-memory caching, ACID transactions, automatic and catastrophic recovery when the application, system or harware fails, high availability and replication in an application configurable package. Simply configure the library and use the particular features available to satisfy your particular application needs. Berkeley DB is a reliable solution with over 15 years of production use in products ranging from cell phones to e-commerce. The primary goal of Berkeley DB is to deliver fast, scalable and flexible data management services to your application while remaining transparent to your end-user.
