NAStore - Databases

• NAStore components use simple, ASCII format tables for databases.

• Records are sized modulo the block size of the file system, so that writes will be integral in the event of a crash.

• The open-source Sleepycat DB3 package is used for indexing the tables.

• This simple database design allows for great speed, portability, surviveability, and easy migration.

• Dates are stored as 64-bit UNIX times - good for millions of centuries.
