<sod>  '''Berkeley DB''' (DB) is a high-performance, embedded [[database]] library with bindings in [[C programming language|C]], [[C++]], [[Java programming language|Java]], [[Perl]], [[Python programming language|Python]], [[Tcl]] and many other programming languages.  DB stores arbitrary key/data pairs, and supports multiple data items for a single key.  DB can support thousands of simultaneous threads of control manipulating databases as large as 256 terabytes, on a wide variety of systems including most [[UNIX-like]] and [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] systems as well as [[real-time operating system]]s.
 
Berkeley DB is developed by [[Sleepycat Software]] (owned by [[Oracle Corporation]]). It is available with source code under a [[free software license]]. Developers who want to redistribute DB with proprietary applications must license it from Sleepycat.
 
 Berkeley DB includes compatibility interfaces for some historic UNIX database libraries: [[dbm]], [[ndbm]] and [[hsearch]].
