Overview

An LMDB Database is a table of key-value pairs. It is stored as part of the Environment.

By default, each key in a Database maps to one value. However, a Database can be configured at creation to allow duplicate keys, in which case one key will map to multiple values.

A Database stores the keys in a sorted order. The order can also be set with options when the database is created.

The basic operations on a database are to #put, #get, and #delete records. One can also iterate through the records in a database using a Cursor.

Examples:

Typical usage

env = LMDB.new "databasedir"
db = env.database "databasename"
db.put "key1", "value1"
db.put "key2", "value2"
db.get "key1"              #=> "value1"
env.close

Parameters:

  • key —

    the record key to retrieve

Returns:

  • value of the record for that key, or nil if there is no record with that key

  • #get(key)

def [](key)
  get(key)
end

#[]=(key, value) ⇒ Object

Set (write or update) a record in a database.

Examples:

db['a'] = 'b'     #=> 'b'
db['b'] = 1234    #=> 1234
db['a']           #=> 'b'

Parameters:

  • key —

    key for the record

  • value —

    the value of the record

Returns:

  • returns the value of the record

See Also:

  • value)

def []=(key, value)

  value
end

#cardinality(key) ⇒ Integer

Return the cardinality (number of duplicates) of a given key. Works whether :dupsort is set or not.

Parameters:

  • key (#to_s) —

    The key in question.

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    The number of entries under the key.

      end
    end
  end

Empty out the database

Returns:

  • nil

        check(mdb_drop(need_txn(database->env), database->dbi, 0));
        return Qnil;
}

#cursor {|cursor| ... } ⇒ Object

Create a cursor to iterate through a database. Uses current transaction, if any. Otherwise, if called with a block, creates a new transaction for the scope of the block. Otherwise, fails.

Examples:

db = env.database "abc"
db.cursor do |c|
  key, value = c.next
  puts "#{key}: #{value}"
end

Yields:

  • (cursor) —

    A block to be executed with the cursor.

Yield Parameters:

  • cursor (Cursor) —

    The cursor to be used to iterate

#delete(key, value = nil) ⇒ Object

Deletes records from the database. This function removes key/data pairs from the database. If the database does not support sorted duplicate data items (:dupsort) the value parameter is ignored. If the database supports sorted duplicates and the value parameter is nil, all of the duplicate data items for the key will be deleted. Otherwise, if the data parameter is non-nil only the matching data item will be deleted.

Parameters:

  • key —

    The key of the record to delete.

  • value —

    The optional value of the record to delete.

Raises:

  • (Error) —

    if the specified key/value pair is not in the database.

#get(key) ⇒ Object

Retrieves one value associated with this key. This function retrieves key/data pairs from the database. If the database supports duplicate keys (:dupsort) then the first data item for the key will be returned. Retrieval of other items requires the use of #cursor.

#put(key, value, options) ⇒ Object

Stores items into a database. This function stores key/value pairs in the database. The default behavior is to enter the new key/value pair, replacing any previously existing key if duplicates are disallowed, or adding a duplicate data item if duplicates are allowed (:dupsort).

Parameters:

  • key —

    The key of the record to set

  • value —

    The value to insert for this key

Options Hash (options):

  • :nodupdata (Boolean) —

    Enter the new key/value pair only if it does not already appear in the database. This flag may only be specified if the database was opened with :dupsort. The function will raise an Error if the key/data pair already appears in the database.

  • :nooverwrite (Boolean) —

    Enter the new key/value pair only if the key does not already appear in the database. The function will raise an {Error] if the key already appears in the database, even if the database supports duplicates (:dupsort).

  • :append (Boolean) —

    Append the given key/data pair to the end of the database. No key comparisons are performed. This option allows fast bulk loading when keys are already known to be in the correct order. Loading unsorted keys with this flag will cause data corruption.

  • :appenddup (Boolean) —

    As above, but for sorted dup data.
