Title: Peers.dat [Necroposting split]
Post by: alaudidae on July 17, 2013, 07:32:09 PM
So is BDB still used at all? (e.g, for peers.dat and wallet.dat? )  Or will that likely be changing with the upcoming release that includes ultraprune?

peers.dat is a flat file with a bitcoin-specific file format, unrelated to any database system.

wallet.dat remains BDB, though there are proposals on changing that.



Is there documentation on the file format used in peers.dat?

No, read the code, by Gavin's advice.
