Mongo Database README

DOCUMENTATION

http://www.10gen.com/wiki/db

ORGANIZATION

db/             : core database source code
grid/           : socket messaging stuff
util/           : util classes

BUILDING

cd db
make clean && make

RUNNING

Run ./db and command line options will display.

NOTES

Mongo uses the 10gen appserver and the Java Virtual Machine to execute 
user program code in the database.  This feature is optional -- if you would 
like to run the database without these installed, run with the --nojni 
option.  With --nojni specified, the db.eval() and $where features are no 
longer available.

Mongo uses memory mapped files.  If built as a 32 bit executable, you will 
not be able to work with large (multi-gigabyte) databases.  However, 32 bit 
builds should work fine with small development databases.
