Welcome to Sleepycat Software, the home of the Open Source
embedded database system Berkeley DB!
Berkeley DB is a programmatic toolkit that provides fast, reliable,
scalable, and mission-critical database support to software developers.
Berkeley DB provides data management services for some of the
most demanding high-end server applications in the world.
Vendors of industry-leading messaging, directory, billing and
provisioning servers as well as the biggest portal, ASP and commerce
sites on the Internet rely on Berkeley DB.
Berkeley DB's high performance and scalability support thousands of
simultaneous users working on databases as large as 256 terabytes.
At the same time, Berkeley DB's small footprint, in-process execution
model, simple function-call API and low administrative overhead make it
ideal for use in embedded systems. Vendors of telecommunications
switches, routers and wired and wireless network gateways choose
Berkeley DB to manage critical information in their products. Berkeley
DB runs reliably 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in unattended systems,
with no database or system administrator to oversee it.
The complete source code for Release 3.2.9 of Berkeley DB is available
for immediate download.
Berkeley DB includes a wide variety of APIs, including C, C++, Java,
Tcl, Perl, and Python. Berkeley DB runs on a wide variety of systems,
including most UNIX or UNIX-like systems, Embedix, QNX, VxWorks, and
Windows 95/98/NT/2000.
