MySQL Manual
7 MySQL Table Types
7.6.2 Installing BDB
If you have downloaded a binary version of MySQL that includes
support for BerkeleyDB, simply follow the instructions for installing a
binary version of MySQL.
See section 2.2.11 Installing a MySQL Binary Distribution. See section 4.7.5 mysqld-max, An Extended mysqld Server.
To compile MySQL with Berkeley DB support, download MySQL
Version 3.23.34 or newer and configure MySQL with the
--with-berkeley-db option. See section 2.3 Installing a MySQL Source Distribution.
cd /path/to/source/of/mysql-3.23.34 ./configure --with-berkeley-db
Please refer to the manual provided with the BDB distribution for
more updated information.
Even though Berkeley DB is in itself very tested and reliable, the MySQL interface is still considered gamma quality. We are actively improving and optimising it to get it stable very soon.
