Chicken Scheme bindings for the Lightning Memory-Mapped Database Manager (LMDB) (http://symas.com/mdb/doc/index.html) database management library.

Library procedures

(db-open filename [key: enckey] [mapsize: size]) Opens or creates LMDB database with optional encryption key and map size.

(db-close db) Closes LMDB database handle.

(db-begin db [dbname: dbname] [flags: 0]) Begins LMDB transaction with optional database name and flags returned by db-flags. Commits and ends LMDB transaction.

(db-flags flag-name ...) Returns a bit mask that represents LMDB environment flags. The flag name is one of the following keywords:

  • #:fixed-map : mmap at a fixed address
  • #:no-subdirectory : no environment directory
  • #:read-only : read only
  • #:write-map : use writable mmap
  • #:no-meta-sync : don't fsync metapage after commit
  • #:no-sync : don't fsync after commit
  • #:map-async : use asynchronous sync with #:write-map is used
  • #:no-lock : don't do locking
  • #:no-read-ahead : don't do readahead

(db-abort db) Aborts LMDB transaction.

(db-delete db key) Removes a key from the database.

(db-delete-database dbname) Deletes LMDB database.

(db-ref db key) Looks up key in database.

(db-set! db key value) Sets a key-value pair in the database.

(db-count db) Returns number of key-value pairs in database.

(db-keys db) Returns a list of database keys.

(db-values db) Returns a list of database values.

(db-key-len m) Returns the length of the current key.

(db-value-len m) Returns the length of the current value.

(db-key m buf) Copies the current key to the specified blob.

(db-value m buf) Copies the current value to the specified blob.

(db-fold f init db) Fold over the keys and values in the database.

(db-for-each f db) Iterate over the keys and values in the database.

(hash-table->db t dbfile [enckey]) Saves SRFI-69 hash table to database.

(db->hash-table dbfile [enckey]) Load database into SRFI-69 hash table.
