I was trying to build something which required the package "libdb-dev". So I was wondering how a database could be as important as it needs to be to get the name "libdb". I looked it up on Wikipedia and was suprised to see it is BDB and read this description:
"Berkeley DB (BDB) is a software library that provides a high-performance embedded database for key/value data. As of 2012, Berkeley DB is the most widely used database toolkit in the world, with hundreds of millions of deployed copies.[1] Berkeley DB is written in C with API bindings for C++, PHP, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl, Smalltalk, and most other programming languages. BDB stores arbitrary key/data pairs as byte arrays, and supports multiple data items for a single key. Berkeley DB is not a relational database.[2] 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." Sounds good. So I'm wondering whats the reason for which Freenet ditched BDB? _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [email protected] https://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
