CONFORMING TO
The TokuDB embedded database provides a subset of the functionality of the Berkeley DB. Programs that work with TokuDB probably work with with most versions of Berkeley DB with only recompilation or relinking. The database files are incompatible, however, so to convert from one library to the other you would need to dump the database with one library's tool and load it with the other's.
