"I believe I shaved at least four months worth of development using db4o's object database
approach, as I know how long it takes to engineer the equivalent solution using
traditional technology...
Before I settled for db4o, I evaluated Apache Derby, MySQL,
Daffodil One$DB, Sqlite, and Berkeley."
--David Tran, Transcraft
"For our environment, db4o's open source database offers a much better fit
compared to the alternative of a relational database
plus an object-relational mapper.
db4o runs up to
four times faster persisting object data, and up to
50% faster querying for objects.
--Sean DeMartino, INTEL
