Package description for 'metakit'

The database that fits in the palm of your hand

 Metakit is an efficient embedded database library with a small 
 footprint. It fills the gap between flat-file, relational, 
 object-oriented, and tree-structured databases, supporting relational 
 joins, serialization, nested structures, and instant schema evolution. 
 There is a C++ API, a Python binding called "Mk4py", and a Tcl binding 
 called "Mk4tcl". You can manipulate and exchange data with any of 
 these. Data files are portable, use auto-sizing ints and strings,
 and have the ability to very efficiently store binary data, from single 
 bits to multi-Mb objects. The library has been used on Unix, Windows, 
 Macintosh, VMS, and others, spanning a range of 16- to 64-bit 
 architectures, from PDA to S390. Here's an ancient sales blurb and a 
 pretty dated introduction. This library is in active use in various 
 commercial projects and products.
 
 Metakit works really well for moderate-size (a hundred Mb) datasets, 
 and offers good performance well beyond that size when its column-wise 
 data model is fully taken advantage of. But it's still not as scalable 
 as it could be, nor does it offer true concurrent access.
