O, nessDB does NOT support Win*, it can be compiled and used on Linux, OSX, and *BSD.

O, nessDB does NOT support Win*

why not? what are nessdb dependecies?

also a few other questions

1) do you have benchmarks against leveldb and tokyocabinet?

2) why GPL? if because of quicklz then you can use lz4

3) what do you think about naskitis btrie?

First, the design is not for win* platform.

Secondary, if you want to complie it on Win*, i guess you should install some others(such as MinGW), but I can not guarantee that pass, and I've never tried it.

Yes, a few days ago, there is a non professional testing with levelDB.

It's as fast as levelDB on random insertion(not test read, but i think it's fast too).

You can do it using 'make db-bench' too.

I believe it's faster than others under our roll-and-roll beating.

Oh, this is a thorny issue for me. In some ways, it's fans of linux kernel.

Did not know it, but it looks interesting.

nessDB is being improved, now we are on the way to the Cache Oblivious (http://supertech.csail.mit.edu/cacheObliviousBTree.html).
