-define Package/libzdb/description
-   zdb is a database library with thread-safe connection pooling. The library can connect
-   transparently to multiple database systems. It has zero runtime configuration and connections
-   are specified via a URL scheme. A modern object-oriented API is provided.
-   zdb supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and Oracle.
-   NOTE: This package does not include Oracle support.
