Title: SDB - persistent triple stores using relational databases
-SDB is a *deprecated* component of
-[Jena](http://jena.apache.org/) for RDF
-storage and query specifically to support SPARQL.
-
-The storage is provided by an SQL database and many databases are
-supported, both Open Source and proprietary.
+SDB uses an SQL database for the storage and query of RDF data.
+Many databases are supported, both Open Source and proprietary.
An SDB store can be accessed and managed with the provided command
line scripts and via the Jena API.
-## Deprecation
+<i>
+Use of SDB for new applications is not recommended.
+
+This component is "maintenance only".
+
+[TDB](../tdb/index.html) is faster, more scalable and better supported
+than SDB.
+</i>
+
+## Status
-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.
