For applications that don't require all of the functionality of the
|
||
full Berkeley DB library, an option is provided to build a static
|
||
library with certain functionality disabled. In particular,
|
||
cryptography, hash and queue access methods, replication and
|
||
verification are all turned off. In addition, all message text
|
||
is stripped from the library. This can reduce the memory
|
||
footprint of Berkeley DB significantly.

<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
If your library has stripped messages, you can get an idea of
|
||
what text should be issued for a given error message by using
|
||
the <a href="../articles/mssgtxt/index.html" class="olink">Message
|
||
Reference for Stripped Libraries</a> guide.

<p>
|
||
In general on Windows systems, you will want to evaluate the size
|
||
of the final application, not the library build. The Microsoft LIB
|
||
file format (like UNIX archives) includes copies of all of the
|
||
object files and additional information. The linker rearranges
|
||
symbols and strips out the overhead, and the resulting application
|
||
is much smaller than the library. There is also a Visual C++
|
||
optimization to "Minimize size" that will reduce the library size
|
||
by a few percent.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
A Visual C++ project file called <code class="filename">db_small</code> is
|
||
provided for this small memory configuration. During a build,
|
||
static libraries are created in <code class="filename">Release</code> or
|
||
<code class="filename">Debug</code>, respectively. The library name is
|
||
<code class="filename">libdb_small48sd.lib</code> for the debug build, or
|
||
<code class="filename">libdb_small48s.lib</code> for the release
|
||
build.</p>
|
||
<p>For assistance in further reducing the size of
|
||
the Berkeley DB library, or in building small memory footprint
|
||
libraries on other systems, please contact Berkeley DB
|
||
support.
