11 | =head2 EXAMPLE |
48 | See the BerkeleyDB documentation (L<http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/index.html>). |
|
|
49 | The BDB API is very similar to the C API (the translation has been very faithful). |
|
|
50 | |
|
|
51 | See also the example sections in the document below and possibly the eg/ |
|
|
52 | subdirectory of the BDB distribution. Last not least see the IO::AIO |
|
|
53 | documentation, as that module uses almost the same asynchronous request |
|
|
54 | model as this module. |
|
|
55 | |
|
|
56 | I know this is woefully inadequate documentation. Send a patch! |

140 | =head2 WIN32 FILENAMES/DATABASE NAME MESS |
|
|
141 | |
|
|
142 | Perl on Win32 supports only ASCII filenames (the reason is that it abuses |
|
|
143 | an internal flag to store wether a filename is Unicode or ANSI, but that |
|
|
144 | flag is used for somethign else in the perl core, so there is no way to |
|
|
145 | detect wether a filename is ANSI or Unicode-encoded). The BDB module |
|
|
146 | tries to work around this issue by assuming that the filename is an ANSI |
|
|
147 | filename and BDB was built for unicode support. |
|
|
148 | |
|
|
149 | =head2 BERKELEYDB FUNCTIONS |
|
|
150 | |
|
|
151 | All of these are functions. The create functions simply return a new |
|
|
152 | object and never block. All the remaining functions take an optional |
|
|
153 | callback as last argument. If it is missing, then the function will be |
|
|
154 | executed synchronously. In both cases, C<$!> will reflect the return value |
|
|
155 | of the function. |
|
|
156 | |
|
|
157 | BDB functions that cannot block (mostly functions that manipulate |
|
|
158 | settings) are method calls on the relevant objects, so the rule of thumb |
|
|
159 | is: if it's a method, it's not blocking, if it's a function, it takes a |
|
|
160 | callback as last argument. |
|
|
161 | |
|
|
162 | In the following, C<$int> signifies an integer return value, |
|
|
163 | C<bdb_filename> is a "filename" (octets on unix, madness on windows), |
|
|
164 | C<U32> is an unsigned 32 bit integer, C<int> is some integer, C<NV> is a |
|
|
165 | floating point value. |
|
|
166 | |
|
|
167 | Most C<SV *> types are generic perl scalars (for input and output of data |
|
|
168 | values). |
|
|
169 | |
|
|
170 | The various C<DB_ENV> etc. arguments are handles return by |
|
|
171 | C<db_env_create>, C<db_create>, C<txn_begin> and so on. If they have an |
|
|
172 | appended C<_ornull> this means they are optional and you can pass C<undef> |
|
|
173 | for them, resulting a NULL pointer on the C level. |
|
|
174 | |
|
|
175 | The C<SV *callback> is the optional callback function to call when the |
|
|
176 | request is completed. This last callback argument is special: the callback |
|
|
177 | is simply the last argument passed. If there are "optional" arguments |
|
|
178 | before the callback they can be left out. The callback itself can be left |
|
|
179 | out or specified as C<undef>, in which case the function will be executed |
|
|
180 | synchronously. |
|
|
181 | |
|
|
182 | For example, C<db_env_txn_checkpoint> usually is called with all integer |
|
|
183 | arguments zero. These can be left out, so all of these specify a call |
|
|
184 | to C<< DB_ENV->txn_checkpoint >>, to be executed asynchronously with a |
|
|
185 | callback to be called: |
|
|
186 | |
|
|
187 | db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, 0, sub { }; |
|
|
188 | db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, sub { }; |
|
|
189 | db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, sub { }; |
|
|
190 | |
|
|
191 | While these all specify a call to C<< DB_ENV->txn_checkpoint >> to be |
|
|
192 | executed synchronously: |
|
|
193 | |
|
|
194 | db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, 0, undef; |
|
|
195 | db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, 0; |

196 | db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0; |

|
|
259 | |
|
|
260 | This is not actually a Berkeley DB function but a BDB module |
|
|
261 | extension. The background for this exytension is: It is very annoying to |
|
|
262 | have to check every single BDB function for error returns and provide a |
|
|
263 | codepath out of your transaction. While the BDB module still makes this |
|
|
264 | possible, it contains the following extensions: |
|
|
265 | |
|
|
266 | When a transaction-protected function returns any operating system |
|
|
267 | error (errno > 0), BDB will set the C<TXN_DEADLOCK> flag on the |
|
|
268 | transaction. This flag is also set by Berkeley DB functions themselves |
|
|
269 | when an operation fails with LOCK_DEADLOCK, and it causes all further |
|
|
270 | operations on that transaction (including C<db_txn_commit>) to fail. |
|
|
271 | |
|
|
272 | The C<db_txn_finish> request will look at this flag, and, if it is set, |
|
|
273 | will automatically call C<db_txn_abort> (setting errno to C<LOCK_DEADLOCK> |
|
|
274 | if it isn't set to something else yet). If it isn't set, it will call |
|
|
275 | C<db_txn_commit> and return the error normally. |
|
|
276 | |
|
|
277 | How to use this? Easy: just write your transaction normally: |
|
|
278 | |
|
|
279 | my $txn = $db_env->txn_begin; |
|
|
280 | db_get $db, $txn, "key", my $data; |
|
|
281 | db_put $db, $txn, "key", $data + 1 unless $! == BDB::NOTFOUND; |
|
|
282 | db_txn_finish $txn; |
|
|
283 | die "transaction failed" if $!; |
|
|
284 | |
|
|
285 | That is, handle only the expected errors. If something unexpected happens |
|
|
286 | (EIO, LOCK_NOTGRANTED or a deadlock in either db_get or db_put), then the remaining |
|
|
287 | requests (db_put in this case) will simply be skipped (they will fail with |
|
|
288 | LOCK_DEADLOCK) and the transaction will be aborted. |
|
|
289 | |
|
|
290 | You can use the C<< $txn->failed >> method to check wether a transaction |
|
|
291 | has failed in this way and abort further processing (excluding |
|
|
292 | C<db_txn_finish>). |

|
|
572 | |
|
|
573 | BerkeleyDB comes in various versions, many of them have minor |
|
|
574 | incompatibilities. This means that traditional "at least version x.x" |
|
|
575 | checks are often not sufficient. |
|
|
576 | |
|
|
577 | Example: set the log_autoremove option in a way compatible with <v4.7 and |
|
|
578 | v4.7. Note the use of & on the constants to avoid triggering a compiletime |
|
|
579 | bug when the symbol isn't available. |

|
|
586 | =item BDB::VERSION |
|
|
587 | |
|
|
588 | The C<BDB::VERSION> function, when called without arguments, returns the |
|
|
589 | Berkeley DB version as a v-string (usually with 3 components). You should |
|
|
590 | use C<lt> and C<ge> operators exclusively to make comparisons. |
|
|
591 | |
|
|
592 | Example: check for at least version 4.7. |
|
|
593 | |
|

|
|
595 | |
|
|
596 | =item BDB::VERSION min-version |
|
|
597 | |
|
|
598 | Returns true if the BDB version is at least the given version (specified |
|
|
599 | as a v-string), false otherwise. |
|
|
600 | |
|
|
601 | Example: check for at least version 4.5. |
|
|
602 | |
|
|
603 | BDB::VERSION v4.7 or die; |
|
|
604 | |
|
|
605 | =item BDB::VERSION min-version, max-version |
|
|
606 | |
|
|
607 | Returns true of the BDB version is at least version C<min-version> (specify C<undef> or C<v0> for any minimum version) |
|
|
608 | and less then C<max-version>. |
|
|

|
|
709 | |
|
|
710 | Sets a callback that is called whenever a request is created without an |
|
|
711 | explicit callback. It has to return two code references. The first is used |
|
|
712 | as the request callback (it should save the return status), and the second |
|
|
713 | is called to wait until the first callback has been called (it must set |
|
|
714 | C<$!> to the return status). |
|
|
715 | |
|
|
716 | This mechanism can be used to include BDB into other event mechanisms, |
|
|
717 | such as L<Coro::BDB>. |
|
|
718 | |
|
|
719 | To allow other, callback-based, events to be executed while callback-less |
|
|
720 | ones are run, you could use this sync prepare function: |
|
|
721 | |
|
|
722 | sub { |
|
|
723 | my $status; |
|
|
724 | ( |
|
|
725 | sub { $status = $! }, |
|
|
726 | sub { BDB::poll while !defined $status; $! = $status }, |
|
|
727 | ) |
|
|
728 | } |
|
|
729 | |
|
|
730 | It works by polling for results till the request has finished and then |
|
|
731 | sets C<$!> to the return value. This means that if you don't use a |
|
|
732 | callback, BDB would simply fall back to synchronous operations. |
|
|
733 | |
|
|
734 | By default, or if the sync prepare function is set to C<undef>, is to |
|
|
735 | execute callback-less BDB requests in the foreground thread, setting C<$!> |
|
|
736 | to the return value, without polling for other events. |
