Modern Implementation of DBM - Shared Library

Tokyo Cabinet is a library of routines for managing a database. The database is a simple data file containing records, each is a pair of a key and a value. Every key and value is serial bytes with variable length. Both binary data and character string can be used as a key and a value. There is neither concept of data tables nor data types. Records are organized in hash table, B+ tree, or fixed-length array. Tokyo Cabinet is developed as the successor of GDBM and QDBM on the following purposes. They are achieved and Tokyo Cabinet replaces conventional DBM products. Features: * improves space efficiency: smaller size of database file. * improves time efficiency: faster processing speed. * improves parallelism: higher performance in multi-thread environment. * improves usability: simplified API. * improves robustness: database file is not corrupted even under catastrophic situation. * supports 64-bit architecture: enormous memory space and database file are available.
