About:
Berkeley DB 4 is an embedded key/value database library providing high-performance, non-relational data management. It offers direct database access within applications, eliminating client-server overhead. This version 4.x series is widely used in legacy systems and applications requiring simple, fast transactional data storage.
Key Features:
  • High-performance embedded key/value data store
  • ACID transaction support with journaling
  • Multiple access methods including B+ trees and Hash
  • Concurrency support with locking mechanisms
Use Cases:
  • Embedded database for applications requiring local data persistence
  • Legacy system database migrations and maintenance
  • High-throughput caching layers for read-intensive applications
Alternatives:
  • SQLite – Relational database with SQL support vs BDB's key/value model
  • RocksDB – Modern LSM-tree storage engine with better write performance
  • LevelDB – Lightweight key/value store with simpler API
