Hello Renato, Donald,

As we need a Database which is suitable for the embedded constraints, why not also looking to Berkley DB or UnQlite.

Both of them are written in C, simple to link and store all the database in a single file and of course are design for the embedded devices.

@Vincent Thanks for your suggestion. I think libgit2 could be a good
fit in the sense that we would store only the deltas instead of full
configurations. But other than that, I think libgit2 would introduce
more complexity and would bring other challenges to solve. I'll
analyze this more carefully tomorrow.

@Donald Yes, Martin raised the same concern last time I talked to him.
Using the SQLite solution this wouldn't be a problem since SQLite
supports in-memory databases. As a matter of fact, this shouldn't be a
problem for any solution we choose as long as we store the
transactions on a tmpfs directory.

Given the state of hard drives on whitebox switches, I think we need
to carefully evaluate doing anything that might further involve a file
system.
