From the + +WWW: http://www.sleepycat.com/products/je.shtml + +"Berkeley DB JE was designed from the ground up in Java. It takes full + advantage of the Java environment. The Berkeley DB JE API provides a + Java Collections-style interface, as well as a programmatic interface + similar to the Berkeley DB API. + + Berkeley DB JE is different from all other Java databases available + today. Berkeley DB JE is not a relational engine built in Java. It + is a Berkeley DB-style embedded store, with an interface designed + for programmers, not DBAs. Berkeley DB JE's architecture employs a + log-based, no-overwrite storage system, enabling high concurrency and + speed while providing ACID transactions and record-level locking. + Berkeley DB JE efficiently caches most commonly used data in memory, + without exceeding application-specified limits. In this way Berkeley + DB JE works with an application to use available JVM resources while + providing access to very large data sets. + + The Berkeley DB JE architecture provides an underlying storage layer + for any Java application requiring high performance, transactional + integrity and recoverability." |
