%general-entities; ]> The Berkeley DB package contains programs and utilities used by many other applications for database related functions. Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download size: &db-size; Estimated Disk space required: &db-buildsize; Estimated build time: &db-time; Required Patch: Required Patch: and Install Berkeley DB by running the following commands: patch -Np0 -i ../patch.4.2.52.1 && patch -Np0 -i ../patch.&db-version; && cd build_unix && ../dist/configure --prefix=/usr \ --enable-compat185 \ --enable-cxx && make && make docdir=/usr/share/doc/db-&db-version; install If you wish to enable Java support in Berkeley DB-&db-version;, add --enable-java to the configure options. This requires a Java compiler. Java support is needed if you plan to use system installed Berkeley DB when compiling . cd build_unix && ../dist/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-compat185: This replaces the normal ./configure command, as Berkeley DB comes with various build directories for different platforms. make docdir=/usr/share/doc/db-&db-version; install: This installs the documentation in the correct place. The Berkeley DB package contains db_archive, db_checkpoint, db_deadlock, db_dump, db_load, db_printlog, db_recover, db_stat, db_upgrade and db_verify. db_archive prints the pathnames of log files that are no longer in use. db_checkpoint is a daemon process used to monitor and checkpoint database logs. db_deadlock is used to abort lock requests when deadlocks are detected. db_dump converts database files to a flat file format readable by db_load. db_load is used to create database files from flat files created with db_dump. db_printlog converts database log files to human readable text. db_recover is used to restore a database to a consistent state after a failure. db_stat displays database environment statistics. db_upgrade is used to upgrade database files to a newer version of Berkeley DB. db_verify is used to run consistency checks on database files.
