        Welcome to Berkeley DB (DB).  
        
        
        <span>
            This document introduces Berkeley DB 12<span class="emphasis"><em>c</em></span> Release 1, which provides DB library version 12.1.6.1.
        </span>
    </p>
      <p>
        This document is intended to provide a rapid introduction
        to the DB API set and related concepts. The goal of this
        document is to provide you with an efficient mechanism with which
        you can evaluate DB against your project's technical
        requirements. As such, this document is intended for 
        <span>Java</span>
         
         
        developers and senior software architects who are looking for an 
        <span>
        in-process data management solution. 
        </span>
        
        No prior experience with Berkeley DB is expected or required.
     </p>

        The following typographical conventions are used within in this manual:
    </p>
        <p>
        Class names are represented in <code class="classname">monospaced font</code>, as are <code class="methodname">method
        names</code>. For example: 
        
        

        <span>"The <code class="methodname">Database()</code>
        constructor returns a <code class="classname">Database</code> class object."</span>

        

        
    </p>
        <p>
        Variable or non-literal text is presented in <span class="emphasis"><em>italics</em></span>. For example: "Go to your
        
        <span class="emphasis"><em>DB_INSTALL</em></span> 
         
        directory."
    </p>
        <p>
        Program examples are displayed in a <code class="classname">monospaced font</code> on a shaded background.
        For example:
    </p>
        <pre class="programlisting">import com.sleepycat.db.DatabaseConfig;

...

// Allow the database to be created.
DatabaseConfig myDbConfig = new DatabaseConfig();
myDbConfig.setAllowCreate(true);</pre>
        <p>
        In some situations, programming examples are updated from one chapter to the next. When
        this occurs, the new code is presented in <strong class="userinput"><code>monospaced bold</code></strong> font. For example:
    </p>
        <pre class="programlisting"><strong class="userinput"><code>import com.sleepycat.db.Database;</code></strong>
import com.sleepycat.db.DatabaseConfig;

...

// Allow the database to be created.
DatabaseConfig myDbConfig = new DatabaseConfig();
myDbConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
<strong class="userinput"><code>Database myDb = new Database("mydb.db", null, myDbConfig);</code></strong> </pre>
        <div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
          <h3 class="title">Note</h3>
          <p>
            Finally, notes of interest are represented using a note block such
            as this.
