[COPY] --- T2-COPYRIGHT-NOTE-END --- [I] The database that fits in the palm of your hand [T] Metakit is an efficient embedded database library with a small [T] footprint. It fills the gap between flat-file, relational, [T] object-oriented, and tree-structured databases, supporting relational [T] joins, serialization, nested structures, and instant schema evolution. [T] There is a C++ API, a Python binding called "Mk4py", and a Tcl binding [T] called "Mk4tcl". You can manipulate and exchange data with any of [T] these. Data files are portable, use auto-sizing ints and strings, [T] and have the ability to very efficiently store binary data, from single [T] bits to multi-Mb objects. The library has been used on Unix, Windows, [T] Macintosh, VMS, and others, spanning a range of 16- to 64-bit [T] architectures, from PDA to S390. Here's an ancient sales blurb and a [T] pretty dated introduction. This library is in active use in various [T] commercial projects and products. [T] [T] Metakit works really well for moderate-size (a hundred Mb) datasets, [T] and offers good performance well beyond that size when its column-wise [T] data model is fully taken advantage of. But it's still not as scalable [T] as it could be, nor does it offer true concurrent access.
