1 Edb is a database abstraction layer to Berkeley Databases. Edb contains
2 the source for DB 2.7.7, thus freezing the database format on disk, making
3 sure it will never become incompatible. Edb wraps this with a convenience
4 and optimization API layer, making database access easy, fast and
5 consistent. It handles typing of information in the database and much
6 more. Edb is *VERY* fast and all of Enlightenment 17 configuration
7 management is built on top of it - every configuration file is a database
8 - including Ebits files.
