“Sleepycat Software, Open Source since 1996, has the

“Sleepycat Software, the company that brought you Berkeley DB in
1996, is still Open Source, after all these years. Despite Centura
Software’s claims to be the first to market with an Open Source
embedded database for Linux, Sleepycat Software has been shipping
one for over 3 years and released version 3.0 in November,
1999.”
“Centura’s announcement yesterday that it was going to make its

Vice President of Marketing at Sleepycat Software… We hope that
this trend moves upmarket, and that the other vendors join
Sleepycat in distributing truly enterprise-capable, scalable
transaction engines as Open Source products.”
“Berkeley DB’s small footprint, scalability, simple APIs,
multiple concurrent processes and multiple concurrent threads have
made it the most popular Open Source database software in the
world…”
