It was inspired by the realisation that -in Samba we have several ad-hoc bits of code that essentially -implement small databases for sharing structures between parts of -Samba. As I was about to add another I realised that a generic -database module was called for to replace all the ad-hoc bits. - -I based the interface on gdbm. I couldn't use gdbm as we need to be -able to have multiple writers to the databases at one time. - -Compilation ------------ - -add HAVE_MMAP=1 to use mmap instead of read/write -add NOLOCK=1 to disable locking code - -Testing -------- - -Compile tdbtest.c and link with gdbm for testing. tdbtest will perform -identical operations via tdb and gdbm then make sure the result is the -same - -Also included is tdbtool, which allows simple database manipulation -on the commandline. - -tdbtest and tdbtool are not built as part of Samba, but are included -for completeness. - -Interface ---------- - -The interface is very similar to gdbm except for the following: - -- different open interface. The tdb_open call is more similar to a - traditional open() -- no tdbm_reorganise() function -- no tdbm_sync() function. No operations are cached in the library anyway -- added a tdb_traverse() function for traversing the whole database -- added transactions support - -A general rule for using tdb is that the caller frees any returned -TDB_DATA structures. Just call free(p.dptr) to free a TDB_DATA -return value called p. This is the same as gdbm. - -here is a full list of tdb functions with brief descriptions. - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -TDB_CONTEXT *tdb_open(char *name, int hash_size, int tdb_flags, - int open_flags, mode_t mode) - - open the database, creating it if necessary - - The open_flags and mode are passed straight to the open call on the database - file. A flags value of O_WRONLY is invalid - - The hash size is advisory, use zero for a default value. - - return is NULL on error - - possible tdb_flags are: - TDB_CLEAR_IF_FIRST - clear database if we are the only one with it open - TDB_INTERNAL - don't use a file, instaed store the data in - memory. The filename is ignored in this case. - TDB_NOLOCK - don't do any locking - TDB_NOMMAP - don't use mmap - TDB_NOSYNC - don't synchronise transactions to disk - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -TDB_CONTEXT *tdb_open_ex(char *name, int hash_size, int tdb_flags, - int open_flags, mode_t mode, - tdb_log_func log_fn, - tdb_hash_func hash_fn) - -This is like tdb_open(), but allows you to pass an initial logging and -hash function.

This allows tdb to - use read locks, which increases the parallelism possible during the - traversal. - - return -1 on error or the record count traversed - - if fn is NULL then it is not called - - a non-zero return value from fn() indicates that the traversal - should stop.
