General

Lightningmdb is a thin wrapper around OpenLDAP Lightning Memory-Mapped Database (LMDB) .

Installation

Prerequisites

Building

LMDB

  • Get LMDB by git clone https://github.com/LMDB/lmdb
  • Building LMDB is a simple
cd lmdb/libraries/liblmdb/
make
make install

Lightningmdb

Luarocks

luarocks can be used to build and install the files from source.

Manually

  • edit the Lightningmdb Makefile and set the Lua and Lightningmdb paths.
  • run make to generate the library.

Docker

A set of docker files are provided also, primarily for building the library against multiple Lua versions. Run ./docker/build_container.sh lua5.1 to test that the library successfully builds with Lua 5.1 (versions 5.2 and 5.3 are supported as well).

Usage

Every attempt was made to honor the original naming convention. The documentation is therefore scarce and the database's documentation should be used.

5 lua objects are wrapping the access to the DB. Their mappings to the LMDB functions/constants is provided below.

The (Lua) tests files provide usage reference. Some of them are direct translation of LMDB's test files.

lightningmdb

All the LMDB enums and defines are available through this table as well as the following functions:

  • version - lmdb_version
  • strerror - mdb_strerror
  • env_create - mdb_env_create

  • close - mdb_cursor_close
  • txn - mdb_cursor_txn
  • dbi - mdb_cursor_dbi
  • get - mdb_cursor_get

  • put - mdb_cursor_put
  • del - mdb_cursor_del
  • count - mdb_cursor_count

lpack

As a utility, LHF's lpack is included in the library for Lua versions lower than 5.3.

Usage

The following is copied verbatim from lpack's original documentation.

The library adds two functions to the string library: pack and unpack.

pack is called as follows: pack(F,x1,x2,...), where F is a string describing how the values x1, x2, ... are to be interpreted and formatted. Each letter in the format string F consumes one of the given values. Only values of type number or string are accepted. pack returns a (binary) string containing the values packed as described in F. The letter codes understood by pack are listed in lpack.c (they are inspired by Perl's codes but are not the same). Numbers following letter codes in F indicate repetitions.

unpack is called as follows: unpack(s,F,[init]), where s is a (binary) string containing data packed as if by pack, F is a format string describing what is to be read from s, and the optional init marks where in s to begin reading the values. unpack returns one value per letter in F until F or s is exhausted (the letters codes are the same as for pack, except that numbers following `A' are interpreted as the number of characters to read into the string, not as repetitions).

The first value returned by unpack is the next unread position in s, which can be used as the init position in a subsequent call to unpack. This allows you to unpack values in a loop or in several steps. If the position returned by unpack is beyond the end of s, then s has been exhausted; any calls to unpack starting beyond the end of s will always return nil values.
