All, A new DB module has been submitted to the trunk that incorporates the Berkeley DB into Openser. This module depends on Berkeley DB, which is a high-performance embedded DB kernel. The Berkeley DB offers a couple of architectures: 1. Concurrent Data Store (CDS) 2. Transaction Data Store This module uses the CDS model. One of the main differences between these architectures is DB recovery and robustness (Please refer to the Berkeley DB for full details). In a nutshell, the onus of recovery is on the application (e.g. openser). This modules contains a recovery program utils/db_berkeley/bdb_recover that can be used to recover DB files. Like other DB modules, the DB must be created before Openser can be started. The standard openserdbctl script can be used to create the DB once the Berkeley DB is installed. The module is experimental, and has been tested primarily with registration. **Important** Berkeley DB v4.6.19 contains a bug that will most certainly result in deadlock. There is a patch available for Berkeley DB 4.6.19, and the fix is to be sourced in the next release of 4.6.
