Yes, I’ll probably take a look at Kyoto Cabinet. I’m often forced to use Windows unfortunately, so a library that works on both Windows and POSIX is preferable.

Hi Adam,

What is tdb? Is that the trivial database thing designed by the samba guy?

It is another project by the same author of Tokyo Cabinet, offering even more parallelism, space efficiency, robustness, a simpler API with OO design and better portability, supporting non-POSIX environments. The performance of TC appears to be slightly higher than KC though, at least in single-thread operations.

I’ve been looking at both of them for quite some time now, and would love to hear your thoughts on each.
