Berkeley DB (BDB) is an embedded database software library for key/value data, historically significant in open-source software. It is a C-based embedded database designed for storing key/value pairs, supporting multiple data entries per key, and includes features like transactions, multiversion concurrency control, and write-ahead logging. Though not relational in structure, it functions across diverse platforms including Unix-like systems, Windows, and real-time operating systems.
