62
- <h2 id="description">Description</h2>
63
-
64
- <p><code>dbmlite3</code> is a simple key-value store built on top of SQLite3 that
65
- provides a Hash-like interface. It is a drop-in replacement for <code>DBM</code>
66
- or <code>YAML::DBM</code> that uses SQLite3 to do the underlying storage.</p>
67
-
68
- <h2 id="why">Why?</h2>
69
-
70
- <p>Because DBM is really simple and SQLite3 is solid, reliable,
71
- ubiquitous, and file-format-compatible across all platforms. This gem
72
- gives you the best of both worlds.</p>

131
- <h3 id="remember-that-a-dbm-is-a-potentially-shared-file">Remember that a <code>DBM</code> is a (potentially) shared file</h3>
132
-
133
- <p>It is important to keep in mind that while <code>Lite3::DBM</code> objects
134
- look like Hashes, they are accessing files on disk that other
135
- processes could modify at any time.</p>
136
-
137
- <p>For example, an innocuous-looking expression like </p>
138
-
139
- <pre class="code ruby"><code class="ruby"><span class='id identifier rubyid_db'>db</span><span class='lbracket'>[</span><span class='tstring'><span class='tstring_beg'>&#39;</span><span class='tstring_content'>foo</span><span class='tstring_end'>&#39;</span></span><span class='rbracket'>]</span> <span class='op'>=</span> <span class='id identifier rubyid_db'>db</span><span class='lbracket'>[</span><span class='tstring'><span class='tstring_beg'>&#39;</span><span class='tstring_content'>foo</span><span class='tstring_end'>&#39;</span></span><span class='rbracket'>]</span> <span class='op'>+</span> <span class='int'>1</span>
140
- </code></pre>
141

142
- <p>or its shorter equivalent</p>
143
-
144
- <pre class="code ruby"><code class="ruby"><span class='id identifier rubyid_db'>db</span><span class='lbracket'>[</span><span class='tstring'><span class='tstring_beg'>&#39;</span><span class='tstring_content'>foo</span><span class='tstring_end'>&#39;</span></span><span class='rbracket'>]</span> <span class='op'>+=</span> <span class='int'>1</span>
145
- </code></pre>

148
- running at the same time, it is possible for both to perform the read
149
- before one of them writes, losing the others&#39; result.</p>
150
-
151
- <p>There are two ways to deal with this. You can wrap the
152
- read-modify-write cycle in a transaction:</p>
153
-
154
- <pre class="code ruby"><code class="ruby"><span class='id identifier rubyid_db'>db</span><span class='period'>.</span><span class='id identifier rubyid_transaction'>transaction</span> <span class='lbrace'>{</span> <span class='id identifier rubyid_db'>db</span><span class='lbracket'>[</span><span class='tstring'><span class='tstring_beg'>&#39;</span><span class='tstring_content'>foo</span><span class='tstring_end'>&#39;</span></span><span class='rbracket'>]</span> <span class='op'>+=</span> <span class='int'>1</span> <span class='rbrace'>}</span>
155
- </code></pre>
156
-
157
- <p>Or, of course, you could just design your script or program so that
158
- only one program accesses the table at a time.</p>
159
-
160
- <h3 id="transactions-and-performance">Transactions and performance</h3>
161
-
162
- <p>If you need to do a large number of accesses in a short amount of
163
- time (e.g. loading data from a file), it is significantly faster to
164
- do these in batches in one or more transactions.</p>
165
-
166
- <h3 id="serialization-safety">Serialization Safety</h3>
167
-
168
- <p><code>Lite3::DBM</code> stores Ruby data by first serializing values using the
169
- <code>Marshal</code> or <code>Psych</code> modules. This can pose a security risk if an
170
- untrusted third party has direct access to the underlying SQLite3
171
- database. This tends to be pretty rare for most use-cases but if it
172
- is a concern, you can always configure <code>Lite3::DBM</code> to store its
173
- values as plain strings.</p>
174
-
175
- <h3 id="forking-safely">Forking safely</h3>
176
-
177
- <p>It is a documented limitation of SQLite3 that database objects
178
- cannot be carried across a process fork. Either the parent or the
179
- child process will keep the open handle and the other one must
180
- forget it completely.</p>
181
-
182
- <p>For this reason, if you need both the parent and child process to
183
- be able to use <code>Lite3::DBM</code> after a <code>fork</code>, you must first call
184
- <code>Lite3::SQL.close_all</code>. Not only will this make it safe but it
185
- also lets the child and parent use the same <code>Lite3::DBM</code> objects.</p>
186
-
187
- <h3 id="lite3-dbm-objects-act-like-file-handles-but-are-not"><code>Lite3::DBM</code> objects act like file handles but are not</h3>
188
-
189
- <p>While it is generally safe to treat <code>Lite3::DBM</code> as a wrapper
190
- around file handle (i.e. <code>open</code> and <code>close</code> work as expected), you
191
- should be aware that this is not precisely the way things
192
- actually work. Instead, the gem maintains a pool of database
193
- handles, one per file, and associates them with <code>Lite3::DBM</code>
194
- instances as needed. This is necessary for transactions to work
195
- correctly.</p>
196
-
197
- <p>See the reference doc for <code>Lite3::SQL</code> for more details.</p>
198
-
199
- <p>Mostly, you don&#39;t need to worry about this but certain types of
200
- bugs could behave in unexpected ways and knowing this may help you
201
- make sense of them.</p>

- <h2 id="description">Description</h2>
63
-
64
- <p><code>dbmlite3</code> is a simple key-value store built on top of SQLite3 that
65
- provides a Hash-like interface. It is a drop-in replacement for <code>DBM</code>
66
- or <code>YAML::DBM</code> that uses SQLite3 to do the underlying storage.</p>
67
-
68
- <h2 id="why">Why?</h2>
69
-
70
- <p>Because DBM is really simple and SQLite3 is solid, reliable,
71
- ubiquitous, and file-format-compatible across all platforms. This gem
72
- gives you the best of both worlds.</p>

132
-
133
- <p>It is important to keep in mind that while <code>Lite3::DBM</code> objects
134
- look like Hashes, they are accessing files on disk that other
135
- processes could modify at any time.</p>
136
-
137
- <p>For example, an innocuous-looking expression like </p>
138
-
139
- <pre class="code ruby"><code class="ruby"><span class='id identifier rubyid_db'>db</span><span class='lbracket'>[</span><span class='tstring'><span class='tstring_beg'>&#39;</span><span class='tstring_content'>foo</span><span class='tstring_end'>&#39;</span></span><span class='rbracket'>]</span> <span class='op'>=</span> <span class='id identifier rubyid_db'>db</span><span class='lbracket'>[</span><span class='tstring'><span class='tstring_beg'>&#39;</span><span class='tstring_content'>foo</span><span class='tstring_end'>&#39;</span></span><span class='rbracket'>]</span> <span class='op'>+</span> <span class='int'>1</span>

148
- running at the same time, it is possible for both to perform the read
149
- before one of them writes, losing the others&#39; result.</p>
150
-
151
- <p>There are two ways to deal with this. You can wrap the
152
- read-modify-write cycle in a transaction:</p>
153
-
154
- <pre class="code ruby"><code class="ruby"><span class='id identifier rubyid_db'>db</span><span class='period'>.</span><span class='id identifier rubyid_transaction'>transaction</span> <span class='lbrace'>{</span> <span class='id identifier rubyid_db'>db</span><span class='lbracket'>[</span><span class='tstring'><span class='tstring_beg'>&#39;</span><span class='tstring_content'>foo</span><span class='tstring_end'>&#39;</span></span><span class='rbracket'>]</span> <span class='op'>+=</span> <span class='int'>1</span> <span class='rbrace'>}</span>
155
- </code></pre>
156
-
157
- <p>Or, of course, you could just design your script or program so that
158
- only one program accesses the table at a time.</p>
159
-
160
- <h3 id="transactions-and-performance">Transactions and performance</h3>
161
-
162
- <p>If you need to do a large number of accesses in a short amount of
163
- time (e.g. loading data from a file), it is significantly faster to
164
- do these in batches in one or more transactions.</p>
165
-
166
- <h3 id="serialization-safety">Serialization Safety</h3>
167
-
168
- <p><code>Lite3::DBM</code> stores Ruby data by first serializing values using the
169
- <code>Marshal</code> or <code>Psych</code> modules. This can pose a security risk if an
170
- untrusted third party has direct access to the underlying SQLite3
171
- database. This tends to be pretty rare for most use-cases but if it
172
- is a concern, you can always configure <code>Lite3::DBM</code> to store its
173
- values as plain strings.</p>
174
-
175
- <h3 id="forking-safely">Forking safely</h3>
176
-
177
- <p>It is a documented limitation of SQLite3 that database objects
178
- cannot be carried across a process fork. Either the parent or the
179
- child process will keep the open handle and the other one must
180
- forget it completely.</p>
181
-
182
- <p>For this reason, if you need both the parent and child process to
183
- be able to use <code>Lite3::DBM</code> after a <code>fork</code>, you must first call
184
- <code>Lite3::SQL.close_all</code>. Not only will this make it safe but it
185
- also lets the child and parent use the same <code>Lite3::DBM</code> objects.</p>
186
-
187
- <h3 id="lite3-dbm-objects-act-like-file-handles-but-are-not"><code>Lite3::DBM</code> objects act like file handles but are not</h3>
188
-
189
- <p>While it is generally safe to treat <code>Lite3::DBM</code> as a wrapper
190
- around file handle (i.e. <code>open</code> and <code>close</code> work as expected), you
191
- should be aware that this is not precisely the way things
192
- actually work. Instead, the gem maintains a pool of database
193
- handles, one per file, and associates them with <code>Lite3::DBM</code>
194
- instances as needed. This is necessary for transactions to work
195
- correctly.</p>
196
-
197
- <p>See the reference doc for <code>Lite3::SQL</code> for more details.</p>
198
-
199
- <p>Mostly, you don&#39;t need to worry about this but certain types of
200
- bugs could behave in unexpected ways and knowing this may help you
201
- make sense of them.</p>
