Keys and values + * must be strings. + * + * The exact library used depends on how Ruby was compiled. It could be any + * of the following: + * + * - {Berkeley DB}[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_DB] versions + * 1 thru 5, also known as BDB and Sleepycat DB, now owned by Oracle + * Corporation. + * - ndbm, aka Berkeley DB 1.x, still found in FreeBSD and OpenBSD. + * - {gdbm}[http://www.gnu.org/software/gdbm/], the GNU implementation of dbm. + * - {qdbm}[http://fallabs.com/qdbm/index.html], another open source + * reimplementation of dbm. + * + * All of these dbm implementations have their own Ruby interfaces + * available, which provide richer (but varying) APIs. + * + * = Cautions + * + * Before you decide to use DBM, there are some issues you should consider: + * + * - Each implementation of dbm has its own file format. Generally, dbm + * libraries will not read each other's files. This makes dbm files + * a bad choice for data exchange. + * + * - Even running the same OS and the same dbm implementation, the database + * file format may depend on the CPU architecture. For example, files may + * not be portable between PowerPC and 386, or between 32 and 64 bit Linux. + * + * - Different versions of Berkeley DB use different file formats. A change to + * the OS may therefore break DBM access to existing files. + * + * - Data size limits vary between implementations. Original Berkeley DB was + * limited to 2GB of data. Dbm libraries also sometimes limit the total + * size of a key/value pair, and the total size of all the keys that hash + * to the same value. These limits can be as little as 512 bytes. That said, + * gdbm and recent versions of Berkeley DB do away with these limits. + * + * Given the above cautions, DBM is not a good choice for long term storage of + * important data. It is probably best used as a fast and easy alternative + * to a Hash for processing large amounts of data. + * + * = Example + * + * require 'dbm' + * db = DBM.open('rfcs', 666, DBM::CREATRW) + * db['822'] = 'Standard for the Format of ARPA Internet Text Messages' + * db['1123'] = 'Requirements for Internet Hosts - Application and Support' + * db['3068'] = 'An Anycast Prefix for 6to4 Relay Routers' + * puts db['822'] + */ void Init_dbm(void) { rb_cDBM = rb_define_class("DBM", rb_cObject); + /* Document-class: DBMError + * Exception class used to return errors from the dbm library. + */ rb_eDBMError = rb_define_class("DBMError", rb_eStandardError); rb_include_module(rb_cDBM, rb_mEnumerable); @@ -733,13 +999,25 @@ Init_dbm(void) rb_define_method(rb_cDBM, "to_a", fdbm_to_a, 0); rb_define_method(rb_cDBM, "to_hash", fdbm_to_hash, 0); - /* flags for dbm_open() */ + /* Indicates that dbm_open() should open the database in read-only mode */ rb_define_const(rb_cDBM, "READER", INT2FIX(O_RDONLY|RUBY_DBM_RW_BIT)); + + /* Indicates that dbm_open() should open the database in read/write mode */ rb_define_const(rb_cDBM, "WRITER", INT2FIX(O_RDWR|RUBY_DBM_RW_BIT)); + + /* Indicates that dbm_open() should open the database in read/write mode, + * and create it if it does not already exist + */ rb_define_const(rb_cDBM, "WRCREAT", INT2FIX(O_RDWR|O_CREAT|RUBY_DBM_RW_BIT)); + + /* Indicates that dbm_open() should open the database in read/write mode, + * create it if it does not already exist, and delete all contents if it + * does already exist. + */ rb_define_const(rb_cDBM, "NEWDB", INT2FIX(O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|RUBY_DBM_RW_BIT)); #ifdef DB_VERSION_STRING + /* The version of the dbm library, if using Berkeley DB */ rb_define_const(rb_cDBM, "VERSION", rb_str_new2(DB_VERSION_STRING)); #else rb_define_const(rb_cDBM, "VERSION", rb_str_new2("unknown")); -- cgit v1.2.3
