Erm... https://github.com/saleyn/secdb

Written in Erlang with a C driver for low level stuff.

Author is Serge Aleynikov. Ex-GS employee sued in multiple courts over many years by GS.

But yeah, not "officially known" as in they released, but there is probably some association there. Just a guess ;-)

I'm pretty sure that's not the same SecDB. It's interesting that it's written by Serge Aleynikov, but it doesn't really match the extant descriptions of the Goldman tool and it's a fork of https://github.com/maxlapshin/stockdb

(BTW, Nice username.)

It obviously wasn't the SecDB just an interesting "coincidence". Who knows if there is any relationship or similarity between functionalities there.

It makes me wonder if the name is a tribute to the official SecDB. Or... given the history, some kind of slight.

Good point. It might be a slight. I doubt the name is a complete coincidence given what he had to go through.
