-=head2 Handling duplicate keys in BTREE databases
+=head2 In Memory Databases
+
+Berkeley DB allows the creation of in-memory databases by using NULL
+(that is, a C<(char *)0> in C) in place of the filename. B<DB_File>
+uses C<undef> instead of NULL to provide this functionality.
+
+=head1 DB_HASH
+
+The DB_HASH file format is probably the most commonly used of the three
+file formats that B<DB_File> supports. It is also very straightforward
+to use.
+
+=head2 A Simple Example.
+
+This example shows how to create a database, add key/value pairs to the
+database, delete keys/value pairs and finally how to enumerate the
+contents of the database.
+
+ use DB_File ;
+ use strict 'untie' ;
+
+ tie %h, "DB_File", "fruit", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0640, $DB_HASH
+ or die "Cannot open file 'fruit': $!\n";
+
+ # Add a few key/value pairs to the file
+ $h{"apple"} = "red" ;
+ $h{"orange"} = "orange" ;
+ $h{"banana"} = "yellow" ;
+ $h{"tomato"} = "red" ;
+
+ # Check for existence of a key
+ print "Banana Exists\n\n" if $h{"banana"} ;
+
+ # Delete a key/value pair.
+ delete $h{"apple"} ;
+
+ # print the contents of the file
+ while (($k, $v) = each %h)
+ { print "$k -> $v\n" }
+
+ untie %h ;
+
+here is the output:
+
+ Banana Exists
+
+ orange -> orange
+ tomato -> red
+ banana -> yellow
+
+Note that the like ordinary associative arrays, the order of the keys
+retrieved is in an apparently random order.
+
+=head1 DB_BTREE
+
+The DB_BTREE format is useful when you want to store data in a given
+order. By default the keys will be stored in lexical order, but as you
+will see from the example shown in the next section, it is very easy to
+define your own sorting function.
+
+=head2 Changing the BTREE sort order
+
+This script shows how to override the default sorting algorithm that
+BTREE uses. Instead of using the normal lexical ordering, a case
+insensitive compare function will be used.
-The BTREE file type in Berkeley DB optionally allows a single key to be
-associated with an arbitrary number of values. This option is enabled by
-setting the flags element of C<$DB_BTREE> to R_DUP when creating the
+ use DB_File ;
+ use strict 'untie' ;
+
+ sub Compare
+ {
+ my ($key1, $key2) = @_ ;
+ "\L$key1" cmp "\L$key2" ;
+ }
+
+ # specify the Perl sub that will do the comparison
+ $DB_BTREE->{'compare'} = \&Compare ;
+
+ tie %h, "DB_File", "tree", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0640, $DB_BTREE

+ # Add a key/value pair to the file
+ $h{'Wall'} = 'Larry' ;
+ $h{'Smith'} = 'John' ;
+ $h{'mouse'} = 'mickey' ;
+ $h{'duck'} = 'donald' ;
+
+ # Delete
+ delete $h{"duck"} ;
+
+ # Cycle through the keys printing them in order.
+ # Note it is not necessary to sort the keys as
+ # the btree will have kept them in order automatically.
+ foreach (keys %h)
+ { print "$_\n" }
+
+ untie %h ;
+
+Here is the output from the code above.
+
+ mouse
+ Smith
+ Wall
+
+There are a few point to bear in mind if you want to change the
+ordering in a BTREE database:
+
+=over 5
+
+=item 1.
+
+The new compare function must be specified when you create the database.
+
+=item 2.
+
+You cannot change the ordering once the database has been created. Thus
+you must use the same compare function every time you access the
database.
+=back
+
+=head2 Handling duplicate keys
+
+The BTREE file type optionally allows a single key to be associated
+with an arbitrary number of values. This option is enabled by setting
+the flags element of C<$DB_BTREE> to R_DUP when creating the database.
+
There are some difficulties in using the tied hash interface if you
want to manipulate a BTREE database with duplicate keys. Consider this
code:
use DB_File ;
- use Fcntl ;
+ use strict 'untie' ;
$filename = "tree" ;
unlink $filename ;
# Add some key/value pairs to the file
$h{'Wall'} = 'Larry' ;
$h{'Wall'} = 'Brick' ; # Note the duplicate key
+ $h{'Wall'} = 'Brick' ; # Note the duplicate key and value
$h{'Smith'} = 'John' ;
$h{'mouse'} = 'mickey' ;
foreach (keys %h)
{ print "$_ -> $h{$_}\n" }
+ untie %h ;
+
Here is the output:
Smith -> John
Wall -> Larry
Wall -> Larry
+ Wall -> Larry
mouse -> mickey
-As you can see 2 records have been successfully created with key C<Wall>
+As you can see 3 records have been successfully created with key C<Wall>
- the only thing is, when they are retrieved from the database they
-both I<seem> to have the same value, namely C<Larry>. The problem is
-caused by the way that the associative array interface works.
-Basically, when the associative array interface is used to fetch the
-value associated with a given key, it will only ever retrieve the first
-value.

-=head2 RECNO
+=head2 Matching Partial Keys
+
+The BTREE interface has a feature which allows partial keys to be
+matched. This functionality is I<only> available when the C<seq> method
+is used along with the R_CURSOR flag.
+
+ $x->seq($key, $value, R_CURSOR) ;
+
+Here is the relevant quote from the dbopen man page where it defines
+the use of the R_CURSOR flag with seq:
+
+
+ Note, for the DB_BTREE access method, the returned key is not
+ necessarily an exact match for the specified key. The returned key
+ is the smallest key greater than or equal to the specified key,
+ permitting partial key matches and range searches.
+
+
+In the example script below, the C<match> sub uses this feature to find
+and print the first matching key/value pair given a partial key.
+
+ use DB_File ;
+ use Fcntl ;
+ use strict 'untie' ;
+
+ sub match
+ {
+ my $key = shift ;
+ my $value ;
+ my $orig_key = $key ;
+ $x->seq($key, $value, R_CURSOR) ;
+ print "$orig_key\t-> $key\t-> $value\n" ;
+ }
+
+ $filename = "tree" ;
+ unlink $filename ;
+
+ $x = tie %h, "DB_File", $filename, O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0640, $DB_BTREE
+ or die "Cannot open $filename: $!\n";
+
+ # Add some key/value pairs to the file
+ $h{'mouse'} = 'mickey' ;
+ $h{'Wall'} = 'Larry' ;
+ $h{'Walls'} = 'Brick' ;
+ $h{'Smith'} = 'John' ;
+
+
+ print "IN ORDER\n" ;
+ for ($st = $x->seq($key, $value, R_FIRST) ;
+ $st == 0 ;
+ $st = $x->seq($key, $value, R_NEXT) )
+
+ { print "$key -> $value\n" }
+
+ print "\nPARTIAL MATCH\n" ;
+
+ match "Wa" ;
+ match "A" ;
+ match "a" ;
+
+ undef $x ;
+ untie %h ;
+
+Here is the output:
+
+ IN ORDER
+ Smith -> John
+ Wall -> Larry
+ Walls -> Brick
+ mouse -> mickey
+
+ PARTIAL MATCH
+ Wa -> Wall -> Larry
+ A -> Smith -> John
+ a -> mouse -> mickey
+
+=head1 DB_RECNO
+
+DB_RECNO provides an interface to flat text files. Both variable and
+fixed length records are supported.
In order to make RECNO more compatible with Perl the array offset for
all RECNO arrays begins at 0 rather than 1 as in Berkeley DB.
-2 the second last, and so on. Attempting to access an element before
the start of the array will raise a fatal run-time error.
-=head2 In Memory Databases
+=head2 A Simple Example
-Berkeley DB allows the creation of in-memory databases by using NULL
-(that is, a C<(char *)0> in C) in place of the filename. B<DB_File>
-uses C<undef> instead of NULL to provide this functionality.
+Here is a simple example that uses RECNO.
+
+ use DB_File ;
+ use strict 'untie' ;
+
+ tie @h, "DB_File", "text", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0640, $DB_RECNO
+ or die "Cannot open file 'text': $!\n" ;
+
+ # Add a few key/value pairs to the file
+ $h[0] = "orange" ;
+ $h[1] = "blue" ;
+ $h[2] = "yellow" ;
+
+ # Check for existence of a key
+ print "Element 1 Exists with value $h[1]\n" if $h[1] ;
+
+ # use a negative index
+ print "The last element is $h[-1]\n" ;
+ print "The 2nd last element is $h[-2]\n" ;
+
+ untie @h ;
+Here is the output from the script:
+
+
+ Element 1 Exists with value blue
+ The last element is yellow
+ The 2nd last element is blue
+
+=head2 Extra Methods
+
+As you can see from the example above, the tied array interface is
+quite limited. To make the interface more useful, a number of methods
+are supplied with B<DB_File> to simulate the standard array operations
+that are not currently implemented in Perl's tied array interface. All
+these methods are accessed via the object returned from the tie call.
+
+Here are the methods:
+
+=over 5
-=head2 Using the Berkeley DB API Directly
+=item B<$X-E<gt>push(list) ;>
+
+Pushes the elements of C<list> to the end of the array.
+
+=item B<$value = $X-E<gt>pop ;>
+
+Removes and returns the last element of the array.
+
+=item B<$X-E<gt>shift>
+
+Removes and returns the first element of the array.
+
+=item B<$X-E<gt>unshift(list) ;>
+
+Pushes the elements of C<list> to the start of the array.

+Returns the number of elements in the array.

+=head2 Another Example
+

+ # and a new record before record 1.
+ $i = 1 ;
+ $H->put($i, "New One", R_IBEFORE) ;
+
+ # delete record 3
+ $H->del(3) ;
+
+ # now print the records in reverse order
+ print "\nREVERSE\n" ;
+ for ($i = $H->length - 1 ; $i >= 0 ; -- $i)

+ $s = $H->seq($k, $v, R_PREV))
+ { print "$k: $v\n" }

+=item 1.
+
+Rather than iterating through the array, C<@h> like this:

+=item 2.
+
+Notice that both times the C<put> method was used the record index was

+itself. This is because C<put> will return the record number of the

+include the C<use strict 'untie'> pragma in any of your scripts that
+make use of B<DB_File>.
- use DB_File ;
- use Fcntl ;
+Even if you don't currently make use of the API interface, it is still
+a good idea to include the pragma. It won't affect the performance of
+your script, but it will prevent problems in the future.
- sub Compare
- {
- my ($key1, $key2) = @_ ;
+If possible you should try to run with the full strict pragma, but that
+is another story. For further details see L<strict> and
+L<perldsc/WHY YOU SHOULD ALWAYS C<use strict>>.
- "\L$key1" cmp "\L$key2" ;
- }
+To illustrate the importance of including the untie pragma, here is an
+example script that fails in an unexpected place because it doesn't use
+it:
- $DB_BTREE->{'compare'} = 'Compare' ;
+ use DB_File ;
+ use Fcntl ;
+
+ $X = tie %x, 'DB_File', 'tst.fil' , O_RDWR|O_CREAT
+ or die "Cannot tie first time: $!" ;
+
+ $x{123} = 456 ;
+
+ untie %x ;
+
+ $X = tie %x, 'DB_File', 'tst.fil' , O_RDWR|O_CREAT
+ or die "Cannot tie second time: $!" ;
- tie %h, "DB_File", "tree", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0640, $DB_BTREE
- or die "Cannot open file 'tree': $!\n" ;
+ untie %x ;
- # Add a key/value pair to the file
- $h{'Wall'} = 'Larry' ;
- $h{'Smith'} = 'John' ;
- $h{'mouse'} = 'mickey' ;
- $h{'duck'} = 'donald' ;
+When run the script will produce this error message:
- # Delete
- delete $h{"duck"} ;
+ Cannot tie second time: Invalid argument at bad.file line 12.
- # Cycle through the keys printing them in order.
- # Note it is not necessary to sort the keys as
- # the btree will have kept them in order automatically.
- foreach (keys %h)
- { print "$_\n" }
+Although the error message above refers to the second tie statement in
+the script, the source of the problem is really with the untie
+statement that precedes it.
- untie %h ;
+To understand why there is a problem at all with the untie statement,
+consider what the tie does for a moment.
-Here is the output from the code above.
+Whenever the tie is executed, it creates a logical link between a Perl
+variable, the associative array C<%x> in this case, and a Berkeley DB
+database, C<tst.fil>. The logical link ensures that all operation on
+the associative array are automatically mirrored to the database file.
- mouse
- Smith
- Wall
+In normal circumstances the untie is enough to break the logical link
+and also close the database. In this particular case there is another
+logical link, namely the API object returned from the tie and stored in
+C<$X>. Whenever the untie is executed in this case, only the link
+between the associative array and the database will be broken. The API
+object in C<$X> is still valid, so the database will not be closed.
+The end result of this is that when the second tie is executed, the
+database will be in an inconsistent state (i.e. it is still opened by
+the first tie) - thus the second tie will fail.
-=head2 Using RECNO
-
-Here is a simple example that uses RECNO.
+If the C<use strict 'untie'> pragma is included in the script, like
+this:
- use DB_File ;
- use Fcntl ;
+ use DB_File ;
+ use Fcntl ;
+ use strict 'untie' ;
+
+ $X = tie %x, 'DB_File', 'tst.fil' , O_RDWR|O_CREAT
+ or die "Cannot tie first time: $!" ;
+
+ $x{123} = 456 ;
+
+ untie %x ;
+
+ $X = tie %x, 'DB_File', 'tst.fil' , O_RDWR|O_CREAT
+ or die "Cannot tie second time: $!" ;
- $DB_RECNO->{'psize'} = 3000 ;
+then the error message becomes:
- tie @h, "DB_File", "text", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0640, $DB_RECNO
- or die "Cannot open file 'text': $!\n" ;
+ Can't untie: 1 inner references still exist at bad.file line 11.
- # Add a key/value pair to the file
- $h[0] = "orange" ;
+which pinpoints the real problem. Finally the script can now be
+modified to fix the original problem by destroying the API object
+before the untie:
- # Check for existence of a key
- print "Exists\n" if $h[1] ;
+ ...
+ $x{123} = 456 ;
- untie @h ;
+ undef $X ;
+ untie %x ;
+
+ $X = tie %x, 'DB_File', 'tst.fil' , O_RDWR|O_CREAT
+ ...
=head2 Locking Databases
open() to give something Perl will flock() for you. Run this repeatedly
in the background to watch the locks granted in proper order.
- use Fcntl;
+ use strict 'untie';
use DB_File;
use strict;
close(DB_FH);
print "$$: Updated db to $key=$value\n";
+=head2 Sharing databases with C applications
+
+There is no technical reason why a Berkeley DB database cannot be
+shared by both a Perl and a C application.
+
+The vast majority of problems that are reported in this area boil down
+to the fact that C strings are NULL terminated, whilst Perl strings are
+not.
+
+Here is a real example. Netscape 2.0 keeps a record of the locations you
+visit along with the time you last visited them in a DB_HASH database.
+This is usually stored in the file F<~/.netscape/history.db>. The key
+field in the database is the location string and the value field is the
+time the location was last visited stored as a 4 byte binary value.
+
+If you haven't already guessed, the location string is stored with a
+terminating NULL. This means you need to be careful when accessing the
+database.
+
+Here is a snippet of code that is loosely based on Tom Christiansen's
+I<ggh> script (available from your nearest CPAN archive in
+F<authors/id/TOMC/scripts/nshist.gz>).
+
+ use DB_File ;
+ use Fcntl ;
+ use strict 'untie' ;
+
+ $dotdir = $ENV{HOME} || $ENV{LOGNAME};
+
+ $HISTORY = "$dotdir/.netscape/history.db";
+
+ tie %hist_db, 'DB_File', $HISTORY
+ or die "Cannot open $HISTORY: $!\n" ;;
+
+ # Dump the complete database
+ while ( ($href, $binary_time) = each %hist_db ) {
+
+ # remove the terminating NULL
+ $href =~ s/\x00$// ;
+
+ # convert the binary time into a user friendly string
+ $date = localtime unpack("V", $binary_time);
+ print "$date $href\n" ;
+ }
+
+ # check for the existence of a specific key
+ # remember to add the NULL
+ if ( $binary_time = $hist_db{"http://mox.perl.com/\x00"} ) {
+ $date = localtime unpack("V", $binary_time) ;
+ print "Last visited mox.perl.com on $date\n" ;
+ }
+ else {
+ print "Never visited mox.perl.com\n"
+ }
+
+ untie %hist_db ;
+
+
+=head1 COMMON QUESTIONS
+
+=head2 Why is there Perl source in my database?
+
+If you look at the contents of a database file created by DB_File,
+there can sometimes be part of a Perl script included in it.
+
+This happens because Berkeley DB uses dynamic memory to allocate
+buffers which will subsequently be written to the database file. Being
+dynamic, the memory could have been used for anything before DB
+malloced it. As Berkeley DB doesn't clear the memory once it has been
+allocated, the unused portions will contain random junk. In the case
+where a Perl script gets written to the database, the random junk will
+correspond to an area of dynamic memory that happened to be used during
+the compilation of the script.
+
+Unless you don't like the possibility of there being part of your Perl
+scripts embedded in a database file, this is nothing to worry about.
+
+=head2 How do I store complex data structures with DB_File?
+
+Although B<DB_File> cannot do this directly, there is a module which
+can layer transparently over B<DB_File> to accomplish this feat.
+
+Check out the MLDBM module, available on CPAN in the directory
+F<modules/by-module/MLDBM>.
+
+=head2 What does "Invalid Argument" mean?
+
+You will get this error message when one of the parameters in the
+C<tie> call is wrong. Unfortunately there are quite a few parameters to
+get wrong, so it can be difficult to figure out which one it is.
+
+Here are a couple of possibilities:
+
+=over 5
+
+=item 1.
+
+Attempting to reopen a database without closing it. See
+L<The strict untie pragma> for an example.
+
+=item 2.
+
+Using the O_WRONLY flag.
+
+=back
+
+=head2 What does "Bareword 'DB_File' not allowed" mean?
+
+You will encounter this particular error message when you have the
+C<strict 'subs'> pragma (or the full strict pragma) in your script.
+Consider this script:
+
+ use strict ;
+ use DB_File ;
+ use vars qw(%x) ;
+ tie %x, DB_File, "filename" ;
+
+Running it produces the error in question:
+
+ Bareword "DB_File" not allowed while "strict subs" in use
+
+To get around the error, place the word C<DB_File> in either single or
+double quotes, like this:
+
+ tie %x, "DB_File", "filename" ;
+
+Although it might seem like a real pain, it is really worth the effort
+of having a C<use strict> in all your scripts.

=item 1.02
-Merged OS2 specific code into DB_File.xs
+Merged OS/2 specific code into DB_File.xs
Removed some redundant code in DB_File.xs.
The example code which showed how to lock a database needed a call to
C<sync> added. Without it the resultant database file was empty.
-Added get_dups method.
+Added get_dup method.
-=head1 WARNINGS
+=item 1.03
+
+Documentation update.
-If you happen to find any other functions defined in the source for
-this module that have not been mentioned in this document -- beware. I
-may drop them at a moments notice.
+B<DB_File> now imports the constants (O_RDWR, O_CREAT etc.) from Fcntl
+automatically.
-If you cannot find any, then either you didn't look very hard or the
-moment has passed and I have dropped them.
+The standard hash function C<exists> is now supported.
+
+Modified the behavior of get_dup. When it returns an associative
+array, the value is the count of the number of matching BTREE values.
