Is there a way to use Berkeley DB from Ruby on Heroku? I know about the bdb gem and a few similar. But Berkeley DB must be installed as a library in advance for these to build.
I am only beginning to learn about Heroku deployment, so apologize if this question is naive. I'm thinking there may be a way to configure bdb as a new gem that includes the BDB sources for building in the cloud. Or perhaps only a pre-compiled BDB static library? Possible?
In case it's handy, this question is related to this one, where I described the problem that Berkeley DB is able to solve, but PostgreSQL can (apparently) not.
It turned out that Redis, which is available on Heroku, has functionality close enough to BerkeleyDB to meet my requirement.
