Perst.NET v.2.22

PERST is just an embedded object-oriented database for applications that need to deal with persistent data. It is easy to use and provides high performance. The main advantage of PERST is its tight integration with the programming language. There is no gap between the database and application data models - PERST directly stores data in language objects. Thus, there is no need of packing/unpacking code, which has to be written for traditional relational databases.

Unlike many other OODBMS, PERST does not require a special compiler or pre-processor. Yet, it is able to provide high level of transparency. The PERST API is convenient, flexible and easy to use. And it is very fast. PERST is a very compact database - only 5 thousand lines of code and 188Kb of the resulting .dll file. Its requirements of system resources are also very small. Moreover, PERST does not require any administration efforts whatsoever. Despite to its simplicity, PERST supports normal ACID transactions with very fast recovery after a runtime error
