150C<octetstring> is a "binary string" (i.e. a perl string with no character 154C<bdb_filename> is a "filename" (octets on unix, madness on windows),

161for them, resulting a NULL pointer on the C level. 164for them, resulting a NULL pointer on the C level.
162 165
166The C<SV *callback> is the optional callback function to call when the
167request is completed. This last callback argument is special: the callback
168is simply the last argument passed. If there are "optional" arguments
169before the callback they can be left out. The callback itself can be left
170out or specified as C<undef>, in which case the function will be executed
171synchronously.
172
173For example, C<db_env_txn_checkpoint> usually is called with all integer
174arguments zero. These can be left out, so all of these specify a call
175to C<< DB_ENV->txn_checkpoint >>, to be executed asynchronously with a
176callback to be called:
177
178 db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, 0, sub { };
179 db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, sub { };
180 db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, sub { };
181
182While these all specify a call to C<< DB_ENV->txn_checkpoint >> to be
183executed synchronously:
184
185 db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, 0, undef;
186 db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, 0;

566=head2 VERSION CHECKING
567
568BerkeleyDB comes in various versions, many of them have minor
569incompatibilities. This means that traditional "at least version x.x"
570checks are often not sufficient.
571
572Example: set the log_autoremove option in a way compatible with <v4.7 and
573v4.7. Note the use of & on the constants to avoid triggering a compiletime
574bug when the symbol isn't available.
575
576 $DB_ENV->set_flags (&BDB::LOG_AUTOREMOVE ) if BDB::VERSION v0, v4.7;

580
581=item BDB::VERSION
582
583The C<BDB::VERSION> function, when called without arguments, returns the
584Berkeley DB version as a v-string (usually with 3 components). You should
585use C<lt> and C<ge> operators exclusively to make comparisons.
586
587Example: check for at least version 4.7.
588
589 BDB::VERSION ge v4.7 or die;
590
591=item BDB::VERSION min-version

593Returns true if the BDB version is at least the given version (specified

603and less then C<max-version>.

600as the request callback, and the second is called to wait until the first 707as the request callback (it should save the return status), and the second
601callback has been called. The default implementation works like this: 708is called to wait until the first callback has been called (it must set
709C<$!> to the return status).
710
711This mechanism can be used to include BDB into other event mechanisms,
712such as L<Coro::BDB>.
713
714To allow other, callback-based, events to be executed while callback-less
715ones are run, you could use this sync prepare function:
602 716
603 sub { 717 sub {
604 my $status; 718 my $status;
605 ( 719 (
606 sub { $status = $! }, 720 sub { $status = $! },
607 sub { BDB::poll while !defined $status; $! = $status }, 721 sub { BDB::poll while !defined $status; $! = $status },
608 ) 722 )
609 } 723 }
610 724
725It works by polling for results till the request has finished and then
726sets C<$!> to the return value. This means that if you don't use a
727callback, BDB would simply fall back to synchronous operations.
728
729By default, or if the sync prepare function is set to C<undef>, is to
730execute callback-less BDB requests in the foreground thread, setting C<$!>
731to the return value, without polling for other events.

771=head1 COMMON PITFALLS
772
773=head2 Unexpected Crashes
774
775Remember that, by default, BDB will execute requests in parallel, in
776somewhat random order. That means that it is easy to run a C<db_get>
777request on the same database as a concurrent C<db_close> request, leading
778to a crash, silent data corruption, eventually the next world war on
779terrorism.
780
781If you only ever use foreground requests (without a callback), this will
782not be an issue (unless you use threads).
783
784=head2 Unexpected Freezes or Deadlocks
785
786Remember that, by default, BDB will execute requests in parallel, which
787easily leads to deadlocks (even concurrent put's on the same database can
788deadlock).
789
790You either need to run deadlock detection (and handle the resulting
791errors), or make sure only one process ever updates the database, ine one
792thread, e.g. by using only foreground requests (without a callback).

834
835Perl on Win32 supports only ASCII filenames (the reason is that it abuses
836an internal flag to store wether a filename is Unicode or ANSI, but that
837flag is used for somethign else in the perl core, so there is no way to
838detect wether a filename is ANSI or Unicode-encoded). The BDB module
839tries to work around this issue by assuming that the filename is an ANSI
840filename and BDB was built for unicode support.
