Comment 20 for bug 157165

Although I'm no longer at Oracle working on Berkeley DB I am fairly
confident when I say that the majority of the changes in BDB since 4.8
were related to a) the integration of the SQLite layer (the SQL API)
and b) scalability/locking changes below the API to improve multi-core
scalability. I think that is why the older version of BDB XML still
works as expected with the latest version of BDB. Of course testing
the combination should be something that the community does to ensure
quality as I'm sure that Oracle will not "bless" this combination as
"supported" until they release a newer version of BDB XML.
