New Berkeley DB Release Includes Replication

Posted by timothy on from the cats-reproduce-by-default dept.

Chairman writes: "Sleepycat Software (disclaimer -- I work there) just released version 4.0 of Berkeley DB. This version adds support for replication, so apps can survive single- or multi-node hardware or software failures without interruption in service. With the interest in replication by users of MySQL and other SQL databases, an embedded engine that provides the same services might be interesting to Slashdot readers."
