Installing BDB
--------------

If you have downloaded a binary version of MySQL that includes support
for BerkeleyDB, simply follow the instructions for installing a binary
version of MySQL.  Note: Installing binary.  *Note `mysqld-max':
mysqld-max.

To compile MySQL with Berkeley DB support, download MySQL Version
3.23.34 or newer and configure `MySQL' with the `--with-berkeley-db'
option.  Note: Installing source.

     cd /path/to/source/of/mysql-3.23.34
     ./configure --with-berkeley-db

Please refer to the manual provided with the `BDB' distribution for
more updated information.

Even though Berkeley DB is in itself very tested and reliable, the
MySQL interface is still considered beta quality.  We are actively
improving and optimizing it to get it stable very soon.
