• ​Debian

Berkeley DB

• ​Berkeley_DB, ​Dbm
• A version 6 exists ​oracle.com but is not in Debian ​libdb5.3 apparently due to a licence issue.
• Some Open Source Software use now lmdb ​Lightning_Memory-Mapped_Database instead.
• PHP uses
  • Berkeley DB version 2-5 ​php.net or
  • gdbm ​GNU database manager ​https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=gdbm,
  • qdbm ​fallabs.com ​https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=qdbm,
  • tcadb ​Tokyo Cabinet at Fallabs.com ​https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=tokyocabinet,
  • Not yet lmdb but a binding is available at ​mpremus/lmdb-php ​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!
