CDB is definitely "notable." It's a software product that is used widely and has bindings for many programming languages. It should probably be merged with Constant_Data_Base. ErikHaugen 17:05, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
The article says: "Notably, the creator of cdb does not intend for cdb to be used as a shared library." I can't find a reference to this, and find it very unlikely. Also, there exists a debian package: "libcdb1 - shared library for constant databases (cdb)" Can somebody clarify this? It's possible that the author meant to say that the library is not designed to share the database: no concurrent access, or only access from a single process at a time.-- Jwillem ( talk) 11:01, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Relevance to Cdb_(software): mcdb is based on ideas in cdb, but mcdb was written to address various scaling limitations of cdb, notably 4 GB and thread-safety. It should be noted that cdb was written for single CPU machines when hard drives were < 200 MB in size, not multi-core machines with 2+ TB disks, so the fact that cdb scales up to 4 GB is impressive. However, today's data sets can be very large and fast data access in multi-core, threaded environments is in demand, hence the motivation behind mcdb.
