Welcome to Berkeley DB (DB).
<span>
This document introduces Berkeley DB 18 Release 18.1, which provides DB library version 18.1.40.
</span>
</p>
<p>
This document is intended to provide a rapid introduction
to the DB API set and related concepts. The goal of this
document is to provide you with an efficient mechanism with which
you can evaluate DB against your project's technical
requirements. As such, this document is intended for
<span>C</span>
developers and senior software architects who are looking for an
<span>
in-process data management solution.
</span>
No prior experience with Berkeley DB is expected or required.
</p>

<p>
The following typographical conventions are used within in this manual:
</p>
<p>
Structure names are represented in <code class="classname">monospaced font</code>, as are <code class="methodname">method
names</code>. For example: "<code class="methodname">DB->open()</code> is a method
on a <code class="classname">DB</code> handle."
</p>
<p>
Variable or non-literal text is presented in <span class="emphasis"><em>italics</em></span>. For example: "Go to your
<span class="emphasis"><em>DB_INSTALL</em></span>
directory."
</p>
<p>
Program examples are displayed in a <code class="classname">monospaced font</code> on a shaded background.
For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">/* File: gettingstarted_common.h */
typedef struct stock_dbs {
DB *inventory_dbp; /* Database containing inventory information */
DB *vendor_dbp; /* Database containing vendor information */
char *db_home_dir; /* Directory containing the database files */
char *inventory_db_name; /* Name of the inventory database */
char *vendor_db_name; /* Name of the vendor database */
} STOCK_DBS; </pre>
<p>
In some situations, programming examples are updated from one chapter to the next. When
this occurs, the new code is presented in <strong class="userinput"><code>monospaced bold</code></strong> font. For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">typedef struct stock_dbs {
DB *inventory_dbp; /* Database containing inventory information */
DB *vendor_dbp; /* Database containing vendor information */
<strong class="userinput"><code>DB *itemname_sdbp; /* Index based on the item name index */</code></strong>
char *db_home_dir; /* Directory containing the database files */
<strong class="userinput"><code>char *itemname_db_name; /* Itemname secondary database */</code></strong>
char *inventory_db_name; /* Name of the inventory database */
char *vendor_db_name; /* Name of the vendor database */
} STOCK_DBS; </pre>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>
Finally, notes of interest are represented using a note block such
as this.
