:mod:`dbm.bsd` --- DBM-style interface to the BSD database library
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|

.. module:: dbm.bsd
|
||||
:synopsis: DBM-style interface to the BSD database library.
|
||||
.. sectionauthor:: Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake@acm.org>
|
||||
|
||||
.. index:: module: bsddb
|
||||
|
||||
The :mod:`dbm.bsd` module provides a function to open databases using the BSD
|
||||
``db`` library. This module mirrors the interface of the other Python database
|
||||
modules that provide access to DBM-style databases. The :mod:`bsddb` module is
|
||||
required to use :mod:`dbm.bsd`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. exception:: error
|
||||
|
||||
Exception raised on database errors other than :exc:`KeyError`. It is a synonym
|
||||
for :exc:`bsddb.error`.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. function:: open(path[, flag[, mode]])
|
||||
|
||||
Open a ``db`` database and return the database object. The *path* argument is
|
||||
the name of the database file.
|
||||
|
||||
The *flag* argument can be:
|
||||
|
||||
+---------+-------------------------------------------+
|
||||
| Value | Meaning |
|
||||
+=========+===========================================+
|
||||
| ``'r'`` | Open existing database for reading only |
|
||||
| | (default) |
|
||||
+---------+-------------------------------------------+
|
||||
| ``'w'`` | Open existing database for reading and |
|
||||
| | writing |
|
||||
+---------+-------------------------------------------+
|
||||
| ``'c'`` | Open database for reading and writing, |
|
||||
| | creating it if it doesn't exist |
|
||||
+---------+-------------------------------------------+
|
||||
| ``'n'`` | Always create a new, empty database, open |
|
||||
| | for reading and writing |
|
||||
+---------+-------------------------------------------+
|
||||
|
||||
For platforms on which the BSD ``db`` library supports locking, an ``'l'``
|
||||
can be appended to indicate that locking should be used.
|
||||
|
||||
The optional *mode* parameter is used to indicate the Unix permission bits that
|
||||
should be set if a new database must be created; this will be masked by the
|
||||
current umask value for the process.
|
||||
|
||||
The database objects returned by :func:`open` provide the methods common to all
|
||||
the DBM-style databases and mapping objects. The following methods are
|
||||
available in addition to the standard methods:
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: dbhash.first()
|
||||
|
||||
It's possible to loop over every key/value pair in the database using this
|
||||
method and the :meth:`next` method. The traversal is ordered by the databases
|
||||
internal hash values, and won't be sorted by the key values. This method
|
||||
returns the starting key.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: dbhash.last()
|
||||
|
||||
Return the last key/value pair in a database traversal. This may be used to
|
||||
begin a reverse-order traversal; see :meth:`previous`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: dbhash.next()
|
||||
|
||||
Returns the key next key/value pair in a database traversal. The following code
|
||||
prints every key in the database ``db``, without having to create a list in
|
||||
memory that contains them all::
|
||||
|
||||
print(db.first())
|
||||
for i in range(1, len(db)):
|
||||
print(db.next())
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: dbhash.previous()
|
||||
|
||||
Returns the previous key/value pair in a forward-traversal of the database. In
|
||||
conjunction with :meth:`last`, this may be used to implement a reverse-order
|
||||
traversal.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: dbhash.sync()
|
||||
|
||||
This method forces any unwritten data to be written to the disk.

persistent form on disk. The :mod:`pickle` and :mod:`marshal` modules can turn

many Python data types into a stream of bytes and then recreate the objects from

the bytes. The various DBM-related modules support a family of hash-based file

formats that store a mapping of strings to other strings. The :mod:`bsddb`
