Hi!
ext/dba still supports Berkeley DB 2 and 3, and offers an emulation
layer for version 1 databases. However, Berkeley DB 4 has been released
in 2001, and Berkeley DB 3.3.11, the final release of the 3.XX
versions[1], has been released on 2001-07-12. It doesn't seem to make
much sense to support these old version anymore.
Unless I'm missing something, I suggest to drop support for Berkeley DB
< 4 as of PHP 7.4.0.
