A database engine for storing object into files Maintained by:pneumann@gmail.com Port Added: 21 Dec 2005 04:14:34
db4o is designed to provide a full-featured, embeddable database engine
for equipment, mobile, desktop, and server platforms in object-oriented
environments. Where relational databases fall short in providing zero
administration, small footprint, high performance, smooth synchronisation,
and easy refactorability, db4o is the answer. Native to Java and .NET,
db4o's single programming library (.jar /.dll) easily integrates into the
application and performs highly reliable and scalable persistence tasks with
just one single line of code, no matter how complex object structures may
be.

Reason:
Most of the ports that depend on Berkeley DB have been updated to use
Mk/bsd.database.mk. Mk/bsd.database.mk is used to include MySQL, PostgreSQL,
Berkeley DB, and SQLite in a port.
The Berkeley DB support in Mk/bsd.database.mk is used to return the proper
db* library name and location of the include and library directories of the
requested version.
To select a version of Berkeley DB, you can use either WITH_BDB_VER=<version>
or ${UNIQUENAME}_WITH_BDB_VER=<version> (version is one of 3, 40, 41, 42, 43,
or 44).
When a port has USE_BDB defined as either 'USE_BDB=41+' or 'USE_BDB=yes', the
port will use the oldest installed version of Berkeley DB. For example if
both db41 and db43 are installed, the port would end up compiling with db41.
If you add -DWITH_BDB_HIGHEST to your make command, the port will use highest
db* instead. If no Berkeley DB is installed then the port will default to the
version specified or the default Berkeley DB version (currently db41).
NOTE: If a port was using a different variable to select Berkeley DB or a
version, you will get an IGNORE message when you build the port. This
message will tell you what you need to do.
Port Maintainers please review the comments in Mk/bsd.database.mk on what
variables are available for you use in your own ports.
