With a -programming interface that is very similar to LDAP, ldb can store its -data either in a tdb(3) database or in a real LDAP database. - </p><p> -When used with the tdb backend ldb does not require any database -daemon. Instead, ldb function calls are processed immediately by the -ldb library, which does IO directly on the database, while allowing -multiple readers/writers using operating system byte range locks. This -leads to an API with very low overheads, often resulting in speeds of -more than 10x what can be achieved with a more traditional LDAP -architecture. - </p><p> -In a taxonomy of databases ldb would sit half way between key/value -pair databases (such as berkley db or tdb) and a full LDAP -database. With a structured attribute oriented API like LDAP and good -indexing capabilities, ldb can be used for quite sophisticated -applications that need a light weight database, without the -administrative overhead of a full LDAP installation. - </p><p> -Included with ldb are a number of useful command line tools for -manipulating a ldb database. These tools are similar in style to the -equivalent ldap command line tools. - </p><p> -In its default mode of operation with a tdb backend, ldb can also be -seen as a "schema-less LDAP". By default ldb does not require a -schema, which greatly reduces the complexity of getting started with -ldb databases. As the complexity of you application grows you can take -advantage of some of the optional schema-like attributes that ldb -offers, or you can migrate to using the full LDAP api while keeping -your exiting ldb code. - </p><p> -If you are new to ldb, then I suggest starting with the manual pages -for ldbsearch(1) and ldbedit(1), and experimenting with a local -database. Then I suggest you look at the ldb_connect(3) and -ldb_search(3) manual pages. - </p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2507200"></a><h2>TOOLS</h2><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p> - <span class="application">ldbsearch(1)</span> - - command line ldb search utility - </p></li><li><p> - <span class="application">ldbedit(1)</span> - - edit all or part of a ldb database using your favourite editor - </p></li><li><p> - <span class="application">ldbadd(1)</span> - - add records to a ldb database using LDIF formatted input - </p></li><li><p> - <span class="application">ldbdel(1)</span> - - delete records from a ldb database - </p></li><li><p> - <span class="application">ldbmodify(1)</span> - - modify records in a ldb database using LDIF formatted input - </p></li></ul></div></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2507265"></a><h2>FUNCTIONS</h2><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_connect(3)</code> - - connect to a ldb backend - </p></li><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_search(3)</code> - - perform a database search - </p></li><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_add(3)</code> - - add a record to the database - </p></li><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_delete(3)</code> - - delete a record from the database - </p></li><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_modify(3)</code> - - modify a record in the database - </p></li><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_errstring(3)</code> - - retrieve extended error information from the last operation - </p></li><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_ldif_write(3)</code> - - write a LDIF formatted message - </p></li><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_ldif_write_file(3)</code> - - write a LDIF formatted message to a file - </p></li><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_ldif_read(3)</code> - - read a LDIF formatted message - </p></li><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_ldif_read_free(3)</code> - - free the result of a ldb_ldif_read() - </p></li><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_ldif_read_file(3)</code> - - read a LDIF message from a file - </p></li><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_ldif_read_string(3)</code> - - read a LDIF message from a string - </p></li><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_msg_find_element(3)</code> - - find an element in a ldb_message - </p></li><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_val_equal_exact(3)</code> - - compare two ldb_val structures - </p></li><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_msg_find_val(3)</code> - - find an element by value - </p></li><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_msg_add_empty(3)</code> - - add an empty message element to a ldb_message - </p></li><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_msg_add(3)</code> - - add a non-empty message element to a ldb_message - </p></li><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_msg_element_compare(3)</code> - - compare two ldb_message_element structures - </p></li><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_msg_find_int(3)</code> - - return an integer value from a ldb_message - </p></li><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_msg_find_uint(3)</code> - - return an unsigned integer value from a ldb_message - </p></li><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_msg_find_double(3)</code> - - return a double value from a ldb_message - </p></li><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_msg_find_string(3)</code> - - return a string value from a ldb_message - </p></li><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_set_alloc(3)</code> - - set the memory allocation function to be used by ldb - </p></li><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_set_debug(3)</code> - - set a debug handler to be used by ldb - </p></li><li><p> - <code class="function">ldb_set_debug_stderr(3)</code> - - set a debug handler for stderr output - </p></li></ul></div></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2506267"></a><h2>Author</h2><p> - ldb was written by - <a class="ulink" href="http://samba.org/~tridge/" target="_top">Andrew Tridgell</a>. - </p><p> -If you wish to report a problem or make a suggestion then please see -the <a class="ulink" href="http://ldb.samba.org/" target="_top">http://ldb.samba.org/</a> web site for -current contact and maintainer information. - </p><p> -ldb is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2 -or later.
