  •   These functions build the foundation for accessing Berkeley DB  style databases. 

      This is a general abstraction layer for several file-based databases.  As such, functionality is limited to a common subset of features  supported by modern databases such as  Sleepycat Software's DB2.  (This is not to be confused with IBM's DB2 software, which is  supported through the ODBC functions.)
  • flatfile  This is available since PHP 4.3.0 for compatibility with the deprecated  dbm extension only and should be avoided.   However you may use this where files were created in this format. That  happens when configure could not find any external library.
