+## Deprecation
+
+As of June 2013 the Jena developers agreed to treat SDB as a deprecated
component - see [Future of
SDB](http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/jena-users/201306.mbox/%[email protected]%3e)
thread on the mailing list.

+The developers intend to continue releasing SDB alongside other Jena
components but it is not actively maintained since none of the developers are
familiar with SDB or use it in their organizations.
+
+SDB may be revived as a fully supported component if members of the community
come forward to maintain it. The Jena team strongly recommends the use of
[TDB](../tdb/) instead of SDB for all new development due to TDBs substantially
better performance and scalability.
