本書第二部分講述的是在Wi n 3 2平臺上的Wi n s o c k編程。對于眾多的基層網絡協議，
Wi n s o c k是訪問它們的首選接口。而且在每個Wi n 3 2平臺上，Wi n s o c k都以不同的形式存在著。
Wi n s o c k是網絡編程接口，而不是協議。它從U n i x平臺的B e r k e l e y（B S D）套接字方案借鑒了
許多東西，后者能訪問多種網絡協議。在Wi n 3 2環境中，Wi n s o c k接口最終成為一個真正的
“與協議無關”接口，尤其是在Winsock 2發布之后。
About:
hamsterdb is a database engine written in ANSI C. It supports a B+Tree index structure, uses memory mapped I/O (if available), supports cursors, and can create in-memory databases.
Release focus: Major feature enhancements
Changes:
This release comes with many changes and new features. It can manage multiple databases in one file. A new flag (HAM_LOCK_EXCLUSIVE) places an exclusive lock on the file. hamsterdb was ported to Windows CE, and the Solution file for Visual Studio 2005 now supports builds for x64. Several minor bugs were fixed, performance was improved, and small API changes occurred. Pre-built libraries for Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) are available for download.
