“Berkeley DB is the database in your Netscape. It is also the
database used by Sendmail, Amazon.com, Yahoo and a host of other
major ISPs and portal sites. As an embedded database, Berkeley
does its work transparently–you may find yourself calling upon its
services all day long and not even know it is there.“
“And with the release of version 3.0, Berkeley DB just got a
great deal better.”
“We’re very excited about Release 3”, said Margo Seltzer, Chief
Technology Officer for Sleepycat Software, makers of the Berkeley
DB. “We see enormous growth in the market for embedded database
systems over the next few years. The market is converging around
small mobile computers on one end, and large centralized servers on
the other. Berkeley DB was designed to work well in both those
environments.”
