Drizzle is a micro-kernel designed database system. Its relational and durability goals are built into the kernel as a default design. It supports a number of interfaces which are "pluggable" so that the kernel does as little
6
as possible, and is as clear as possible to users. This allows users to extend the database by writing simple plugins.
8
Drizzle supports SQL92, with custom extensions for advanced users.
10
Historically, database servers have dictated infrastructure - you must use the inbuilt authentication system, the inbuilt logging system etc. Drizzle takes a different approach; it aims to integrate with your existing infrastructure,
11
becoming a part of it instead of an island.
13
Drizzle has been designed for modern environments, which are 64bit, multi-core with gigabytes of memory.
15
Drizzle is open source software, and is maintained by a number of individuals and companies for the better advancement of all who participate.
