Documentation

This egg provides an incomplete, simple interface to qdbm. Here are two examples that illustrate its use.

Writing a "depot" database

 
 > csi
 #;1> (use qdbm)
 #;2> (define d (dp-open-write "testdb" 'create))
 #;3> d
 #<pointer 0x809a378>
 #;4> (dp-put d "key1" 4 "val1" 4)
 #t
 #;5> (dp-close d)
 #t
 #;6> (exit)

Verify the result with dpmgr (part of qdbm):

 > dpmgr list testdb 
 key1val1

Reading a "depot" database

 
 #;1> (use qdbm)
 #;2> (define d (dp-open-read "testdb"))
 #;3> d
 #<pointer 0x809a378>
 #;4> (dp-get d "key1")
 "val1"
 #;5> (dp-close d)
 #t
 #;6> (exit)
