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.
