| Summary |
Berkeley DB is an embedded database system. It links directly into the address space of the application that uses it, and provides a simple function-call API for storing and retrieving data. It can run in single-user mode, or provide high-concurrency, transaction-protected, fully recoverable access to records that it stores. Programmers embed it in their applications, and end users are generally unaware that they're using a database at all. There is no separate server to install and administer, no ongoing manual maintenance required, and no complex query language to master. This book gives detailed information on the design and implementation of Berkeley DB, and how to use it in applications. This book will help readers decide whether they need an embedded database at all, and how their application should use Berkeley DB to get the best performance and greatest reliability from it |
