Table database is a file containing records composed of the primary keys and arbitrary columns and is handled with the table database API. Before operations to store or retrieve records, it is necessary to open a database file and connect the table database object to it. To avoid data missing or corruption, it is important to close every database file when it is no longer in use. It is forbidden for multible database objects in a process to open the same database at the same time.%% Except for the interface below, methods compatible with the `Hash’ class are also provided; `[]’, `[]=’, `store’, `delete’, `fetch’, `has_key?’, `clear’, `length’, `empty?’, `each’, `each_key’, `each_value’, and `keys’.%%

Public Instance methods

Add a real number to a record.%% `key’ specifies the primary key.%% `num’ specifies the additional value.%% If successful, the return value is the summation value, else, it is `nil’.%% The additional value is stored as a decimal string value of a column whose name is "_num".

1151:     end

Close the database file.%% If successful, the return value is true, else, it is false.%% Update of a database is assured to be written when the database is closed. If a writer opens a database but does not close it appropriately, the database will be broken.%%

1079:     def close()
1080:       # (native code)

Copy the database file.%% `path’ specifies the path of the destination file. If it begins with `@’, the trailing substring is executed as a command line.%% If successful, the return value is true, else, it is false. False is returned if the executed command returns non-zero code.%% The database file is assured to be kept synchronized and not modified while the copying or executing operation is in progress. So, this method is useful to create a backup file of the database file.%%

Get forward matching primary keys.%% `prefix’ specifies the prefix of the corresponding keys.%% `max’ specifies the maximum number of keys to be fetched. If it is not defined or negative, no limit is specified.%% The return value is a list object of the keys of the corresponding records. This method does never fail.

Get the next primary key of the iterator.%% If successful, the return value is the next primary key, else, it is `nil’. `nil’ is returned when no record is to be get out of the iterator.%% It is possible to access every record by iteration of calling this method. It is allowed to update or remove records whose keys are fetched while the iteration. However, it is not assured if updating the database is occurred while the iteration. Besides, the order of this traversal access method is arbitrary, so it is not assured that the order of storing matches the one of the traversal access.%%

Both of `TokyoCabinet::TDB::OREADER’ and `TokyoCabinet::TDB::OWRITER’ can be added to by bitwise-or: `TokyoCabinet::TDB::ONOLCK’, which means it opens the database file without file locking, or `TokyoCabinet::TDB::OLCKNB’, which means locking is performed without blocking. If it is not defined, `TokyoCabinet::TDB::OREADER’ is specified.%% If successful, the return value is true, else, it is false.%%
