Description Enrico Morelli 2002-07-01 09:03:13 UTC

cdb is a fast, reliable, simple package for creating and reading
constant databases. Its database structure provides several 
features:
Fast lookups: A successful lookup in a large database normally takes
just two disk accesses. An unsuccessful lookup takes only one.
Low overhead: A database uses 2048 bytes, plus 24 bytes per record,
plus the space for keys and data.
No random limits: cdb can handle any database up to 4 gigabytes. 
There are no other restrictions; records don't even have to fit 
into memory.
Databases are stored in a machine- independent format.
Fast atomic database replacement: cdbmake can rewrite an entire
database two orders of magnitude faster than other hashing packages.
Fast database dumps: cdbdump prints the contents of a database in
cdbmake-compatible format.
cdb is designed to be used in mission-critical applications like 
e-mail.
Database replacement is safe against system crashes. Readers don't 
have to pause during a rewrite.
