Good for MongoDB. They really need some serious tech people and it seems the acquired team have got the experience, expertise and reputation to lead the technology development.
One thing though: there is one undisputed candidate for the title "the most widely-used embedded data management software in the world", and that is sqlite. BDB is indeed widely used, but sqlite would be deployed in at least one order of magnitude more computers.
- jimm 12y agoI wouldn't be so sure about that. I believe the core database from which BDB evolved (and which was also written by Keith Bostic) is part of some pretty widely-used Unix software (SMTP servers, or DNS, or something like that).
- boomzilla 12y agoEvery computer that run Firefox, and every Android phone, iPhone, iPad has a copy of sqlite. BDB are used a lot on the server side, but you can't beat the consumer devices.
- justin66 12y agoIsn't bdb a standard component on vxworks? Android isn't the most popular embedded thing. I'm just wondering what the actual numbers are on this stuff.
