Wow, that's interesting news. Berkeley DB is still GPL/commercial, I guess? I hope SQLite will keep on going under public domain, including its B-tree level.
Also, here's an interesting statement in the BDB/SQLite announcement: > Thus, applications written to the SQLite version 3 API can switch to using > Oracle Berkeley DB with no code changes, by re-linking against the > Berkeley DB SQLite library.

Does that mean SQLite storage level is less reliable than BDB? Are there any performance measurements and comparison of SQLite vs. SQLite/BDB? Does SQLite/BDB really provide more concurrency, while maintaining SERIALIZABLE isolation level? Thanks! Igor D.
