Persistence Subsystems for Jena
There are two subsystems for persisting RDF and OWL data, SDB or TDB. These are separate downloads.
TDB is a high-performance, native persistence engine using custom indexing and storage. SDB is a persistence layer that uses an SQL database and supports full ACID transactions. TDB is faster and simpler to setup.
The original RDB system is still shipped with Jena for legacy applications. It is deprecated for new development.
