Sleepycat Software 1 Sleepycat Software Sleepycat Software 1 Sleepycat Software Sleepycat Software, Inc. Former type Private company Industry Computer software Genre Database software Fate Acquired Successor Oracle Corporation Founded 1996 Founder(s) Margo Seltzer and Keith Bostic Defunct 2006 Headquarters Lincoln, Massachusetts, U.S. Key people Michael Olson (CEO) Products Berkeley DB Sleepycat Software, Inc. was the company primarily responsible for maintaining the Berkeley DB packages from 1996 to 2006. Berkeley DB is a widely used and freely-licensed database software originally developed at the University of California, Berkeley for 4.4BSD Unix, and developers from that project founded Sleepycat in 1996 to provide commercial support after a request by Netscape to provide new features in the database software.[1] In February 2006, Sleepycat was acquired by Oracle Corporation, which has continued developing Berkeley DB.[2] The company was founded in 1996 to develop, support and distribute Berkeley DB. The founders were wife and husband team Margo Seltzer and Keith Bostic, who are also original authors of Berkeley DB. Another original author, Michael Olson, was the President and CEO of Sleepycat. They were all at University of California, Berkeley, where they developed the software that grew to become Berkeley DB. Sleepycat was originally based in Carlisle, Massachusetts[3] and moved to Lincoln, Massachusetts[4] . Sleepycat distributed Berkeley DB under a proprietary software license, that included standard commercial features, and simultaneously under the newly-created Sleepycat License, which allows Open Source use and distribution of Berkeley DB with a copyleft redistribution condition similar to the GNU General Public License.[1] Sleepycat had offices in California, Massachusetts and the United Kingdom, was profitable during its entire existence,[5] and had numerous major customers, both Open Source[6] and commercial.[7] Sleepycat Software 2 References [1] Brunelli, Mark (March 28, 2005).

  • Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix : from AT&T-Owned to Freely
    Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix : From AT&T-Owned to Freely Redistributable Marshall Kirk McKusick Early History Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie presented the first Unix paper at the Symposium on Operating Systems Principles at Purdue University in November 1973. Professor Bob Fabry, of the University of California at Berkeley, was in attendance and immediately became interested in obtaining a copy of the system to experiment with at Berkeley. At the time, Berkeley had only large mainframe computer systems doing batch processing, so the first order of business was to get a PDP-11/45 suitable for running with the then-current Version 4 of Unix. The Computer Science Department at Berkeley, together with the Mathematics Department and the Statistics Department, were able to jointly purchase a PDP-11/45. In January 1974, a Version 4 tape was delivered and Unix was installed by graduate student Keith Standiford. Although Ken Thompson at Purdue was not involved in the installation at Berkeley as he had been for most systems up to that time, his expertise was soon needed to determine the cause of several strange system crashes. Because Berkeley had only a 300-baud acoustic-coupled modem without auto answer capability, Thompson would call Standiford in the machine room and have him insert the phone into the modem; in this way Thompson was able to remotely debug crash dumps from New Jersey. Many of the crashes were caused by the disk controller's inability to reliably do overlapped seeks, contrary to the documentation. Berkeley's 11/45 was among the first systems that Thompson had encountered that had two disks on the same controller! Thompson's remote debugging was the first example of the cooperation that sprang up between Berkeley and Bell Labs.

Berkeley DB is written in C with API bindings for C++, C#, PHP, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl, Smalltalk, and many other programming languages. BDB stores arbitrary key/data pairs as byte arrays, and supports multiple data items for a single key. Berkeley DB is not a relational database.[1] BDB can support thousands of simultaneous threads of control or concurrent processes manipulating databases as large as 256 terabytes,[2] on a wide variety of operating systems including most Unix- like and Windows systems, and real-time operating systems. "Berkeley DB" is also used as the common brand name for three distinct products: Oracle Berkeley DB, Berkeley DB Java Edition, and Berkeley DB XML. These three products all share a common ancestry and are currently under active development at Oracle Corporation.

This paper presents a redesign and implementation of the Sprite [ROSE91] log-structured file system that is more robust and integrated into the vnode interface [KLEI86].
