PrimeBase XT (PBXT) pluggable storage engine for MySQL


PrimeBase XT (PBXT) is a transactional storage engine for MySQL. It has been designed for modern, web-based, high concurrency environments and heavy update loads. PBXT uses a number of new techniques to achieve its goals. The aspects of design and other features of the implementationare described in a White Paper.

PrimeBase XT is hosted on SourceForge.net. Here you can download the latest source code, track changes and updates and report bugs.
NEW! PBXT is now available for Windows NT/XP. Build it yourself, or install the binary included in the PBXT binary distribution.The PBXT binary distribution includes binary versions of the plug-in for MySQL 5.1 and 5.2 running on a number of platforms. An install shell script automatically detects which version of the MySQL server is running and installs the correct plug-in (see the package README for details).News and Information
