SDB (string database)
=====================
2013-04-01 03:52:21 +00:00
sdb is a simple string key/value database based on djb's cdb
disk storage and supports JSON and arrays introspection.
mcsdbd is a memcache server with disk storage based on sdb.
2013-04-01 03:52:21 +00:00
It is distributed as a standalone binary and a library.
2013-04-01 03:52:21 +00:00
There's also the sdbtypes: a vala library that implements
several data structures on top of an sdb or a memcache instance.

Compilation
-----------
For native builds just type `make`. Everything will be compiled twice to get the .dylib and .a and sdb in PIC and nonPIC modes.
To compile with Emscripten for Javascript:
make CC=emcc EXT_EXE=.js
Changes
-------
2013-04-01 03:52:21 +00:00
I have modified cdb code a little to create smaller databases and
be memory leak free in order to use it from a library.
The sdb's cdb database format is 10% smaller than the original
one. This is because keylen and valuelen are encoded in 4 bytes:
1 for the key length and 3 for the value length.
In a test case, a 4.3MB cdb database takes only 3.9MB after this
file format change.

Usage example
-------------
Let's create a database!
$ sdb d hello=world
$ sdb d hello
world
2013-04-01 03:52:21 +00:00
Using arrays (>=0.6):
2014-01-30 22:45:30 +00:00
$ sdb - '[]list=1,2' '[0]list' '[0]list=foo' '[]list' '[+1]list=bar'
2013-04-01 03:52:21 +00:00
1
foo
2
Let's play with json:
$ sdb d g='{"foo":1,"bar":{"cow":3}}'
$ sdb d g:bar.cow
3
$ sdb - user='{"id":123}' user:id=99 user:id
2013-04-01 03:52:21 +00:00
99
2013-04-01 03:52:21 +00:00
Using the commandline without any disk database:
$ sdb - foo=bar foo a=3 +a -a
bar
4
3
$ sdb -
foo=bar
foo
bar
a=3
+a
4
-a
2013-04-01 03:52:21 +00:00

Remove the database
2013-04-01 03:52:21 +00:00
$ rm -f d
