BDB is a small (well it was supposed to be a small...) package offering CFFI-Bindings to Berkeley DB.
The package is supposed to be as lispy , but as near to the C library as possible.
You can find more informations about Berkeley db on http://www.sleepycat.com.
Since the package is supposed to be as near as possible to the C library, you should read the "Getting starting..." guides,
using the "bdb-playgound" package, to get a feeling on how to use Berkeley DB and/or bdb.
| Lisp Platforms: |
if you test with another lisp implementation or system
please tell me if it runs or not (fixing the problems will be fine too).
These are the systems i successfully (didn't tried others now) tested bdb (on a x86 Linux system with libdb4.3) - sbcl (successfully tested with sbcl 0.9.10 and newer on x86) - cmucl (successfully tested with release-19a) - clisp (successfully tested with version 2.38) |
| Berkeley DB Version: | 4.3 |

|
| Not completed/Missing Features: |
In the moment the library is in a state i can work without any doubts, but if there are some features you will need, tell me or better send me a patch.
|
| Package version: | I don't use any versioning (at the moment), so get used to the darcs repo. But at the moment consider this an alpha version... |

Sure, the package was supposed too be small, but unfortunatelly it grew and grew, thus it consists/needs several packages:
| Package | Description | Dependencies | Documentation | ChangeLog |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mycl-util | My private utility package, which i use/develop in, since I'm lerning CL (I'm just very new to CL...) | None | documentation | |
| cffi-util | Was once part of bdb package, but outsourced as new package. This package brings you a "flag-system" for handling constant definitions in seperated systems, an defcfun extension macro to "easily" translate c idiosncratics into lisp ones, cbuffer and pool plus cbuffer input/output streams. |

| bdb | These are the CFFI bindings to Berkley DB |

| bdb-playground | If you want to play/test the library, bdb-playground is a nice starting point, since it uses cl-store for writing and reading the data into/from the database and you can immediately start unsing the library. |

bdb package:
The bdb package comes with a wrapper library for libdb, which must be compiled
and made available. You can find more infos on how to install in the
README file.
All packages:
Just make all asdf files available and load via asdf.
