Oracle Berkeley DB is a family of open source embeddable databases
that allows developers to incorporate within their applications a
fast, scalable, transactional database engine with industrial grade
reliability and availability. As a result, customers and end-users
will experience an application that simply works, reliably manages
data, can scale under extreme load, but requires no ongoing database
administration. As a developer, you can focus on your application and
be confident that Oracle Berkeley DB will manage your persistence
needs.
ADOdb stands for Active Data Objects Data Base.
ADOdb is a database abstraction library for PHP.
The PHP version currently supports an amazing number of databases,
thanks to the wonderful ADOdb community:
MySQL, PostgreSQL, Interbase, Firebird, Informix, Oracle, MS SQL, Foxpro,
Access, ADO, Sybase, FrontBase, DB2, SAP DB, SQLite, Netezza, LDAP, and generic
ODBC, ODBTP.
The Sybase, Informix, FrontBase and PostgreSQL, Netezza, LDAP, ODBTP drivers
are community contributions.
MonetDB is an open source column-oriented database management system
developed at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in the
Netherlands. It was designed to provide high performance on complex
queries against large databases, such as combining tables with hundreds
of columns and multi-million rows. MonetDB has been applied in
high-performance applications for data mining, online analytical
processing, geographic information systems, XML Query (XQuery), text
and multimedia retrieval.
DBIWrapper is a generic database Perl module for accessing
the Perl DBI database interface. It provides the lowest level
of functionality needed by any program wanting to access
databases via the DBI. Currently, DBIWrapper is only
aware of Pg (PostgreSQL), mysql (MySQL) and ODBC DBD
modules and how to work with them correctly.
Support for transactions on MySQL is now checked for and
if found to be available, the AutoCommit flag is turned
off so that transactions will be used.
PgDBF is a program for converting XBase databases - particularly FoxPro
tables with memo files - into a format that PostgreSQL can directly
import. It's a compact C project with no dependencies other than standard
Unix libraries. While the project is relatively tiny and simple, it's also
heavily optimized via profiling - routine benchmark were many times faster
than with other Open Source programs. In fact, even on slower systems,
conversions are typically limited by hard drive speed.

SOCI is a database access library for C++ that makes the illusion of embedding
SQL queries in the regular C++ code, staying entirely within the Standard C++.
The idea is to provide C++ programmers a way to access SQL databases in the most
natural and intuitive way. If you find existing libraries too difficult for your
needs or just distracting, SOCI can be a good alternative.
This library is a lightweight database abstraction layer designed to make
it simple to write high performance applications using SQL databases from
Objective-C.
The library consists of a semi-abstract superclass doing much of the work
and allowing extremely simple database specific bundles to be written to
talk to particular database servers. It comes with backend bundles for
Postgres, MySQL, and SQLite (plus an untested Oracle bundle).
