NAME

  BDB::Wrapper
  Wrapper module for BerkeleyDB.pm for easy usage of it.
  This will make it easy to use BerkeleyDB.pm.
  You can protect bdb file from the concurrent access and you can use BerkeleyDB.pm with less difficulty.
  This module is used on http://sakuhindb.com/ and is developed based on the requirement.

  Attention: If you use this module for the specified Berkeley DB file,
  please use this module for all access to the bdb.
  By it, you can control lock and strasaction of bdb files.
  BDB_HOMEs are created under /tmp/bdb_home in default option.

Example of basic usage

  #!/usr/bin/perl -w
  package test_bdb;
  use strict;
  use BDB::Wrapper;
  my $pro=new test_bdb;
  $pro->run();
  sub new(){
    my $self={};
    return bless $self;
  }

  sub run(){
    my $self=shift;
    $self->init_vars();
    $self->demo();
  }

  sub init_vars(){
    my $self=shift;
    $self->{'bdb'}='/tmp/test.bdb';
    $self->{'bdbw'}=new BDB::Wrapper;
  }

  sub demo(){
    my $self=shift;
    if(my $dbh=$self->{'bdbw'}->create_write_dbh($self->{'bdb'})){
      ###############
      # This is not must job but it will help to avoid unexpected result caused by unexpected process killing
      my $lock=$dbh->cds_lock();
      local $SIG{'INT'};
      local $SIG{'TERM'};
      local $SIG{'QUIT'};
      $SIG{'INT'}=$SIG{'TERM'}=$SIG{'QUIT'}=sub {$lock->cds_unlock();$dbh->db_close();};
      ###########
      if($dbh && $dbh->db_put('name', 'value')==0){
      }
      else{
        $lock->cds_unlock();
        $dbh->db_close() if $dbh;
        die 'Failed to put to '.$self->{'bdb'};
      }
      $lock->cds_unlock();
      $dbh->db_close() if $dbh;
    }

    if(my $dbh=$self->{'bdbw'}->create_read_dbh($self->{'bdb'})){
      my $value;
      if($dbh->db_get('name', $value)==0){
        print 'Name='.$name.' value='.$value."\n";
      }
      $dbh->db_close();
    }
  }

Example of using transaction

  # Transaction Usage
  #!/usr/bin/perl -w
  package bdb_write;
  use strict;
  use BDB::Wrapper;

  my $pro = new bdb_write;
  $pro->run();
  sub new(){
    my $self={};
    return bless $self;
  }

  sub run(){
    my $self=shift;
    $self->{'bdbw'}=new BDB::Wrapper;
    # If you want to create bdb_home with transaction log under /home/txn_data/bdb_home/$BDBFILENAME/
    my ($dbh, $env)=$self->{'bdbw'}->create_write_dbh({'bdb'=>'/tmp/bdb_write.bdb', 'txn'=>1});
    my $txn = $env->txn_begin(undef, DB_TXN_NOWAIT);
  
    my $cnt=0;
    for($i=0;$i<1000;$i++){
      $dbh->db_put($i, $i*rand());
      $cnt=$i;
      if($cnt && $cnt%100==0){
        $txn->txn_commit();
        $txn = $env->txn_begin(undef, DB_TXN_NOWAIT);
      }
    }

    $txn->txn_commit();
    $env->txn_checkpoint(1,1,0);
    $dbh->db_close();
    chmod 0666, '/tmp/bdb_write.bdb';
    print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
    print $cnt."\n";
  }

methods

new

  Creates an object of BDB::Wrapper
  
  If you set {'ram'=>1}, you can use /dev/shm/bdb_home for storing locking file for BDB instead of /tmp/bdb_home/.
  1 is default value.
  
  If you set {'no_lock'=>1}, the control of concurrent access will not be used. So the lock files are also not created.
  0 is default value.
  
  If you set {'cache'=>$CACHE_SIZE}, you can allocate cache memory of the specified bytes for using bdb files.
  The value can be overwritten by the cache value of create_write_dbh
  undef is default value.
  
  If you set {'wait'=>wait_seconds}, you can specify the seconds in which dead lock will be removed.
  22 is default value.
  
  If you set {'transaction'=>transaction_root_dir}, all dbh object will be created in transaction mode unless you don\'t specify transaction root dir in each method.
  0 is default value.

create_env

  Creates Environment for BerkeleyDB

  create_env({'bdb'=>$bdb,
    'no_lock='>0(default) or 1,
    'cache'=>undef(default) or integer,
    'error_log_file'=>undef or $error_log_file,
    'transaction'=> 0==undef or 1 or $transaction_root_dir
    });

  no_lock and cache will overwrite the value specified in new but used only in this env

create_dbh

  Not recommened method. Please use create_read_dbh() or create_write_dbh().
  Creates database handler for BerkeleyDB
  This will be obsolete due to too much simplicity, so please don\'t use.

create_hash_ref

  Not recommended method. Please use create_write_dbh().
  Creates database handler for BerkeleyDB
  This will be obsolete due to too much simplicity, so please don\'t use.

create_write_dbh

  This returns database handler for writing or ($database_handler, $env) depeinding on the request.

  $self->create_write_dbh({'bdb'=>$bdb,
    'cache'=>undef(default) or integer,
    'hash'=>0 or 1,
    'dont_try'=>0 or 1,
    'no_lock'=>0(default) or 1,
    'sort_code_ref'=>$sort_code_reference,
    'sort' or 'sort_num'=>0 or 1,
    'transaction'=> 0==undef or $transaction_root_dir,
    'reverse_cmp'=>0 or 1,
    'reverse' or 'reverse_num'=>0 or 1
    });

  In the default mode, BDB file will be created as Btree;

  If you set 'hash' 1, Hash BDB will be created.

  If you set 'dont_try' 1, this module won\'t try to unlock BDB if it detects the situation in which deadlock may be occuring.

  If you set sort_code_ref some code reference, you can set subroutine for sorting for Btree.

  If you set sort or sort_num 1, you can use sub {$_[0] <=> $_[1]} for sort_code_ref.

  If you set reverse or reverse_num 1, you can use sub {$_[1] <=> $_[0]} for sort_code_ref.

  If you set reverse_cmp 1, you can use sub {$_[1] cmp $_[0]} for sort_code_ref.

  If you set transaction for storing transaction log, transaction will be used and ($bdb_handler, $transaction_handler) will be returned.

create_read_dbh

  This returns database handler for reading or ($database_handler, $env) depeinding on the request.

  $self->create_read_dbh({
    'bdb'=>$bdb,
    'hash'=>0 or 1,
    'dont_try'=>0 or 1,
    'sort_code_ref'=>$sort_code_reference,
    'sort' or 'sort_num'=>0 or 1,
    'reverse_cmp'=>0 or 1,
    'reverse' or 'reverse_num'=>0 or 1,
    'transaction'=> 0==undef or 1 or $transaction_root_dir
    });

  In the default mode, BDB file will be created as Btree;

  If you set 'hash' 1, Hash BDB will be created.

  If you set 'dont_try' 1, this module won\'t try to unlock BDB if it detects the situation in which deadlock may be occuring.

  If you set sort_code_ref some code reference, you can set subroutine for sorting for Btree.

  If you set sort or sort_num 1, you can use sub {$_[0] <=> $_[1]} for sort_code_ref.

  If you set reverse or reverse_num 1, you can use sub {$_[1] <=> $_[0]} for sort_code_ref.

  If you set reverse_cmp 1, you can use sub {$_[1] cmp $_[0]} for sort_code_ref.

  If you set transaction 1, you will user /tmp/txn_data for the storage of transaction.

create_write_hash_ref

  Not recommended method. Please use create_write_dbh() instead of this method.
  This will creates hash for writing.

  $self->create_write_hash_ref({'bdb'=>$bdb,

    'bdb'=>$bdb,
    'transaction' => 0==undef or $transaction_root_dir
    });

  OR

  clear_bdb_home($bdb);

record_error

  This will record error message to /tmp/bdb_error.log if you don\'t specify error_log_file

  record_error({
    'msg'=>$error_message,
    'error_log_file'=>$error_log_file
    });
