VPAT® Version 2.0 - October 2017
Oracle Berkeley Database is a family of embedded key-value database libraries providing scalable high-performance data management services to applications. The Berkeley DB products use simple function-call APIs for data access and management. It is designed to provide highly reliable, scalable, and available data storage across a configurable set of systems that function as storage nodes. As an embedded database, it does not come with a user interface. There is no installation required. Any user interface to the database would have to be created as part of the application program.
This VPAT applies to only version 12.1.6.1.0 prior to 21-Feb-2020. It does not apply to any versions of Oracle Berkeley Database after this. This VPAT has been superseded by Oracle Berkeley Database (updated3.1) 12.1.6.1.0.
This VPAT does not cover the following product areas:
Oracle's policy is to design, develop and test both products and documentation to be accessible. The recommended styles of testing for accessibility include: (i) algorithmic automated tests, (ii) human judgement tests such as tool-assisted tests, visual inspection and manual operation, and (iii) testing with assistive technology by people with and without disabilities. Additional information about Oracle's accessibility program is available on http://www.oracle.com/corporate/accessibility/index.html
