About LightningMDB

Moved to: https://github.com/jvdsandt/lmdb-smalltalk

A Smalltalk driver for the Lightning Memory-Mapped Database (LMDB). This is an embedded database that was developed as part of the OpenLDAP project. The database can also be used for other applications as a fast embedded database engine. This project makes it easy to use the database engine from Smalltalk applications.

Highlights:

NativeBoost is used to access the liblmdb library
Works on Linux, OSX and Windows
A database can be accessed by multiple processes (Smalltalk images) simultaneously but not by multiple hosts
As long as our VM is 32 bits only the size of a database is limited to about 2GB
The driver includes a high level interface: MDBSortedDictionary
