Sleepycat.
While researching how to set up this site, I read many MovebleType users suggestions about using the mysql option for handling the database functions of the blog.
I chose to start out using the Berkeley db option for two main reasons.
First — Berkeley is easier to setup on the particular server that this site is running on.
Second — after using mysql on a couple different projects I have become a fan. The mysql/php combo is a great open source success story and is quickly becoming a must have for a web developer’s toolbox.
Still, since this site is about exploring new territory and I was not at all familiar with Berkeley DB, I figured what the heck, a chance to learn something new.
Early feedback of Berkely DB from me is favorable. First impressions are that it is a pretty strong database app for such a small footprint. Very easy setup.
Nice work Sleepycat.

Just pass it a phone number and it will tell you who the carrier is even if the phone number is ported from one carrier to another. Our database is updated daily so even numbers that are ported today report correctly tomorrow. If you would like a demo account call. We have several large corporations and online software vendors using the service. cfielding@txtwire.com http://www.txtwire.com Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by Kyle2008
Great post DC. Very interesting approach to sending SMS. Is the source code for this actually available anywhere? Thanks! Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by JustUs1776
Great post. I'm a LAMP Developer and I was wondering if anyone has been able to build their own GSM server. That is, a server that can utilize a GSM modem to send direct, local messages to cell or IP phones. I'm working for a not-for-profit health care organization and have a suite of applications that I'd like to improve communication turn around time by sending SMS messages our nurses IP phones and our Physician's cell phones. I've found a ton of services that are all cost prohibitive and was hoping for an open source solution. Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by Roy
My son's teacher would like to be able to send short text messages to students. I'm looking for a simple solution that would allow him to broadcast to 20-40 students a "reminder" about class info. This article looks very promising, but It appears to be server based. Can this type of program be modified to run run stand-a-lone, ie flash drive, desktop...? comment feed...
