I have heard of symas lightning memory mapped database, LMDB and went through the available documentations. How to use the database in Visual Studio? Also, is there something like Collections of MongoDB or table of RDBMS(I know LMDB is non SQL) in LMDB?

LMDB is a key value store, it does not have tables like an RDBMS. An LMDB environment can support multiple database instances within it. You could use each instance to store logically similar keys, just like a mongodb collection.

  • LMDB has an environment and multiple databases can be defined within it. The [header file](https://github.com/LMDB/lmdb/blob/mdb.master/libraries/liblmdb/lmdb.h) has more documentation. You can use mdb_env_set_maxdbs to set an upper limit and use mdb_open with separate database names for each instance. – Kanti Varanasi Jun 07 '16 at 21:18
