Description
Tokyo Cabinet: a modern implementation of DBM.
Tokyo Cabinet is a library of routines for managing a database. The database is a simple data file containing records, each is a pair of a key and a value. Every key and value is serial bytes with variable length. Both binary data and character string can be used as a key and a value. There is neither concept of data tables nor data types. Records are organized in hash table, B+ tree, or fixed-length array.
Tokyo Cabinet is developed as the successor of GDBM and QDBM on the
following purposes. They are achieved and Tokyo Cabinet replaces
conventional DBM products: improves space efficiency, improves time
efficiency, improves parallelism, improves usability, improves
robustness, supports 64-bit architecture.
