Berkeley DB XML
Berkely DB XML is an embedded XML database running on most operating systems and with support for most popular programming languages. It supports XQuery as its query language, provides flexible document indexing, and inherits Berkeley DB's transactions, recovery, and replication. Conceptuary's products use BDB XML extensively for document storage and retrieval.
