There is no support for berkeley DB (only for gnu dbm (gdbm), and ndbm if I remember).

I am aware of two packages, one by yaron minsky and one by lex stein.
I personnaly find the one by lex stein slightly better. I use it for a project of mine.
http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~stein/ocamlbdb-4.3.21.tar.gz
There is some strange stuff when you use transaction, but it works pretty well.

The one by lex stein is more recent (well he updated his old version to make it work with berkeley DB 4.3)

I actively maintain a BDB OCaml interface 
(http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~stein/ocamlbdb-4.3.21.tar.gz). It 
currently works with BDB 4.3.21. Please send me any bug reports 
and bug fixes.

Thank you

Lex

[Caml-list] Berkeley DB

[Yurii A. Rashkovskii]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 693 bytes --]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I've released an early version of Berkeley DB wrapper for OCaml.

It is available at http://osdn.org.ua/~yrashk/ocamlbdb-0.0.1.tar.gz

It requires Cook and FunnelWeb to be built (URLs are listed in README).
And, of course, Berkeley DB.

OCamlBDB provides both functional and object interface to Berkeley DB.

Since this release is very early I want to notice that it is not
well-tested and still lacks of some features (including some big
ones - locks, mpoolfile and a lot of configuration methods). Also
OCamlBDB has no META for ocamlfind yet.

I've used Berkeley DB 4.1.24 to develop OCamlBDB.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Regards,
Yurii.
