Berkeley DB XML: An Embedded XML Database (O'Reilly)

[Posted May 14, 2003 by cook]

Paul Ford introduces Berkeley DB XML on O'Reilly. "Berkeley DB XML is an open source, embedded XML database created by Sleepycat Software. It's built on top of Berkeley DB, a "key-value" database which provides record storage and transaction management. Unlike relational databases, which store data in relational tables, Berkeley DB XML is designed to store arbitrary trees of XML data. These can then be matched and retrieved, either as complete documents or as fragments, via the XML query language XPath."
