Challenges in Embedded Database System Administration

Margo I. Seltzer, Harvard University, and Michael A. Olson, Sleepycat Software

Database configuration and maintenance have historically been complex tasks, often requiring expert knowledge of database design and application behavior. In an embedded environment, it is not possible to require such expertise or to perform ongoing database maintenance. This paper discusses the database administration challenges posed by embedded systems and describes how Sleepycat Software's Berkeley DB architecture addresses these challenges.
