* [WikiPedia:Debian]
= Berkeley DB =
* [WikiPedia:Berkeley_DB], [Wikipedia:Dbm]
* A version 6 exists [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/database-technologies/berkeleydb/downloads/index.html oracle.com] but is not in Debian [DebianPackage:libdb5.3] apparently due to a licence issue.
* Some Open Source Software use now lmdb [WikiPedia:Lightning_Memory-Mapped_Database] instead.
* PHP uses 
 * Berkeley DB version 2-5 [http://php.net/manual/en/dba.requirements.php php.net] or 
 * gdbm [ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gdbm/ GNU database manager] https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=gdbm,
 * qdbm [http://fallabs.com/qdbm/index.html fallabs.com] https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=qdbm,
 * tcadb [http://fallabs.com/tokyocabinet/ Tokyo Cabinet at Fallabs.com] https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=tokyocabinet,
 * Not yet lmdb but a binding is available at [https://github.com/mpremus/lmdb-php mpremus/lmdb-php] [Google:lmdb-php+site:debian.org] https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=lmdb
* Conclusion: There are enough replacements for BDB, we can continue to use it!
