Executive Summary

Overall, Oracle's Berkeley DB offers good DBMS features and functionality, with broad support for embedded databases, in both market share and technology innovation. Although Berkley DB does not offer SQL, stored procedures, triggers, views, or functions, it has broad coverage for transactions, database availability, in-memory database, security, and zero-administration to support most embedded database requirements. Berkeley DB also offers support for Java and XML data that makes it an attractive platform to deploy various kinds of applications. Oracle's acquisition of Sleepycat should further help in extending the Berkeley DB technology and increasing its adoption. Oracle is also likely to integrate Berkeley DB with other Oracle products in the coming years, offering a broader spectrum of data management solutions.
