Berkeley DB is a programmatic toolkit that
provides high-performance built-in database
support for desktop and server applications. The
Berkeley DB access methods include B+tree,
Extended Linear Hashing, Fixed and
Variable-length records, and Queues. Berkeley DB
provides full transactional support, database
recovery, online backups, multi- threaded and
multi-process access, etc. The Python wrappers
allow you to store Python string objects of any
length, keyed either by strings or integers
depending on the database access method. With
the use of another module in the package
standard shelve-like functionality is provided
allowing you to store any picklable Python
object!
