     About Oracle Berkeley DB Release 4.6
     Oracle Berkeley DB is an open source, embeddable database engine which
 developers at ISVs, OEMs and enterprises integrate directly into their
 software applications, devices, and equipment. Oracle Berkeley DB provides
 very high performance, reliability and scalability for use cases where SQL
 is unnecessary overhead. Oracle Berkeley DB also offers high availability
 and near zero administration for unattended, continuous operation. Oracle
 Berkeley DB Release 4.6 includes the following enhancements:
     -- Increased Performance - a more efficient mutex implementation enables
        multiple threads to access a common memory location, and a faster hash
        access method helps applications more quickly find an item via a binary
        search.
     -- Increased Ease of Use for Developers - a new quick start tool generates
        schema and configuration code to help developers produce working
        applications on their first try.  Several new features give developers
        greater flexibility and control for their applications, such as cache
        size adjustment during runtime, cache operation prioritization and
        replica-private temporary databases.
     -- Increased Portability - in addition to support for Linux, Unix and
        Windows, several new platforms are supported for Windows CE, S60 and
        BREW, plus simple platform verification tools to ease porting.
