I've started a blog about how to get the most from Berkeley DB. I'm
mainly focusing on performance (since that's what so many want from
BDB), but I'll also be talking about best ways to code to the API,
operations, new features in recent releases. This is based on my long
experience as an independent BDB consultant helping dozens of
companies.

Here are recent posts:

- Optimizations that don't always work (When trickle doesn't work)

- Two lines of code to optimize your readonly database (Readonly DB
reloaded)

- Extreme cases for Berkeley DB: increasing puts per second in a
write-only application (Divide and Conquer)

- Taste your data to get new insights. (Taste your Data)

- Impressive speedups in database or language. How to choose among so
many choices? (Choose your Battles)

- Use these words in a sentence: "threads", "trickle",
"philosophy". (No Threads Attached)

I invite you to read, challenge my ideas, post feedback, and suggest
topics.
Thanks!
