This maybe a dumb question but can someone explain how to install Berkeley for SICstus on Windows? This is my last resort

The entire Oracle site for Berkeley DB seems broken, with many broken links. Also, there are no longer any installers, and only the latest version of the source code. Their site has been that way for over a year. I do not know what happened.

In the mean time, I was able to download the Windows installers by first creating a free Oracle Account, logging in, and then using the links https://download.oracle.com/otn/berkeley-db/db-6.2.38_64.msi and https://download.oracle.com/otn/berkeley-db/db-6.2.38_86.msi (found via the Wayback Machine). These versions should be compatible with SICStus Prolog 4.6 on Windows.

  • Obviously these problems means that you should avoid depending on the SICStus Prolog Berkeley DB library, if possible. In the next version of SICStus we plan to add a new library with similar functionality, based on another database technology. – Per Mildner Mar 09 '21 at 09:40
  • Thanks for the help I've looked at the ODBC library but Berkeley currently was more suitable. Looking forward to the new library in the next version. – ac4824 Mar 11 '21 at 04:46
