Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package libdb2, which is
part of the oldlibs section, and maintained by Debian Berkeley DB
Maintainers <pkg-db-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org>. 

This package contains : The Berkeley database routines (run-time
files).

libdb2 is a library for manipulating database files, developed at
Berkeley and extended by Sleepycat Software Inc.
This is an ancient, obsolete version.

It supports three kinds of file formats:
 * btree. A representation of a sorted, balanced tree structure.
 * hashed. An extensible, dynamic hashing scheme.
 * UNIX file oriented. A byte stream file with fixed or variable
   length records.
Other core database services:
 * page cache management for fast access, clean page allocation.
 * lock with multiple reader/writer granularity.
 * nested transaction support with logging and rollback recovery
   (two phase commit).
 * Large set of utilities, to dump/load/restore data and examine log.
