Welcome to Berkeley DB XML (BDB XML). This document introduces BDB XML, version 6.0. It is intended to provide a rapid introduction to the BDB XML API set and related concepts. The goal of this document is to provide you with an efficient mechanism with which you can evaluate BDB XML against your project's technical requirements. As such, this document is intended for C++ developers and senior software architects who are looking for an in-process XML data management solution. No prior experience with Sleepycat technologies is expected or required.
