db4o is a non-intrusive persistence system that stores any complex object with one single line of code. The class schema of your application classes is analysed and adjusted in real time when objects are stored. Object-oriented querying functionality is provided through Native Queries (NQ), the ability to query the database using .NET syntax and semantics (similar in concept to LINQ/DLINQ), Query by Example (QBE) which uses prototype objects for querying and other APIs. High performance is achieved with indexed fields and by reducing database-file-internal redirections to the absolute minimum. db4o features ACID transactions, fast embedded single-user mode and multi-transactional Client/Server access, locally and through TCP, object-oriented replication, and the ObjectManager to browse database files.

Not as complexity as big SQL database server, not as simplicity as iBoxDB,
Db4o is the best database project to help you to learn how to write a database.
This adventurous oop-database project, has no news in a long time. here update it to .NetStandard2 & Java7. some users maybe need it.
Use MonoDevelop to Open Db4o-2010.sln or run
Db4objects.Db4o.Optional/dotnet publish -c Release
test/dotnet run
/test includes a dotnet core example.
Use IDE NetBeans 12 to Open db4o.j/db4o-core project
Build Project will output a jar to ../db4o-gpl/db4o.j/db4o-core/dist/db4o-core.jar
or Run File, db4o.j/db4o-core/tutorial/src/com/db4odoc/f1/Main.java
[user@localhost db4o-core]$ /home/user/netbeans12/extide/ant/bin/ant jar
db4o-core using JDK7, some test files using JDK11, the test files can be removed.
Db4o-Projects/*/dotnet publish -c Release //like above
Add 4 DLLs in /Output to xamarin-project
