[edit] Bug in non-Unix BSD versions

The "Bug in non-Unix BSD versions of Berkeley DB" seems odd to me.

First, every program has lots of bugs; Wikipedia is not a bug database, and it seems strange to single out this one -- especially since it's for a specific old version of BDB.

Second, the "(source - first hand experience)" sounds like it would disqualify this content from Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not the place for "new research", and if this bug/workaround isn't documented elsewhere, doesn't that count? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.117.4.242 (talk • contribs) 19:34, September 18, 2005.

No arguments there at all. I've removed it. — mendel ☎ 23:02, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] XA Definition

What does "XA" in XA interface stand for ? XA leads to a disambig page. Jay 06:53, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] MySQL

Under programs that use BerkelyDB, mySQL is listing at the top. Is there any corroboration of this? For example on the mySQL page it doesn't say that it's based on BerkeleyDB? dnisbet 22nd Nov 2005

BDB can be used as an external storage engine, and is included. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/internals/en/guided-tour.html mentions it briefly. Also, I've repointed that XA link to the X/Open XA page, http://www.sleepycat.com/docs/ref/xa/xa_intro.html 66.188.220.27 09:07, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Categorization

All articles should be inserted in their respective categories. If they aren't it is a PitA to get to them. Please try to leave articles without a proper categori inclusion --Mecanismo | Talk 19:57, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Seems like this has been taken care of too. --Jarsyl 06:15, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copying: Sleepycat license

The Sleepycat free software license appears to be a GPL-compatible copyleft license, no? Perhaps this could be mentioned? --216.114.171.141 17:06, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oracle Berkeley DB Java Edition

How about Oracle Berkeley DB Java Edition ? See http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/je/index.html Nicolas1981 22:26, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Netscape and Sleepycat

I added a reference/link to an interview with Mike Olson that mentions the interaction with Netscape around 1996, but is unclear on the exact year. I added the "1996" to this article which already included the data point that this was before BDB version 1.85. This in turn roughly corresponds to this BDB version info I found on Oracle's site. Can anyone with more authoritative knowledge/Google-fu corroborate? --Jarsyl 06:15, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
