[+/-]
Sleepycat Software has provided MySQL with the Berkeley DB
transactional storage engine. This storage engine typically is
called BDB for short. BDB
tables may have a greater chance of surviving crashes and are also
capable of COMMIT and
ROLLBACK
operations on transactions.
Support for the BDB storage engine is included
in MySQL source distributions, which come with a
BDB distribution that is patched to make it
work with MySQL. You cannot use an unpatched version of
BDB with MySQL.
BDB support will be removed.
Note that, as of MySQL 5.1, BDB isn't
supported any longer.
For general information about Berkeley DB, please visit the Sleepycat Web site, http://www.sleepycat.com/.
