MDB Status

[Howard Chu <hyc@symas.com>]

For those who haven't been following along, support for OpenLDAP's MDB 
(memory-mapped database) library is also available for several other open 
source projects, including Cyrus SASL (sasldb mech), Heimdal Kerberos (hdb 
module), SQLite3, OpenDKIM, and MemcacheDB. A work-in-progress patch for 
Postfix is also available, with a final version coming soon. A backend for 
SQLite4 is also in the works. A port of Android (JellyBean) for the Motorola 
Droid4 using MDB/SQLite3 is in progress (since my current phone is a Droid4).
Other projects are also in progress and will be announced in the near future. 
The current list is also posted on http://highlandsun.com/hyc/mdb/ - feel free 
to suggest other projects.

OpenLDAP MDB completely outclasses other embedded databases (like Oracle 
BerkeleyDB, Google LevelDB, SQLite, Kyoto Cabinet) from every angle: 
performance, efficiency, reliability, administrative ease, simplicity, 
whatever. With MDB not only have we made the world's fastest LDAP server even 
faster, but we can also make anything else that uses a database even better.

I'll also be presenting an updated talk on MDB at LinuxCon Europe in 
Barcelona, November 7.
