cdb is discussed on the cdb mailing list.

What is it?

cdb is a fast, reliable, simple package for creating and reading constant databases. Its database structure provides several features:

Fast lookups: A successful lookup in a large database normally takes just two disk accesses. An unsuccessful lookup takes only one.
Low overhead: A database uses 2048 bytes, plus 24 bytes per record, plus the space for keys and data.
No random limits: cdb can handle any database up to 4 gigabytes. There are no other restrictions; records don't even have to fit into memory. Databases are stored in a machine-independent format.
Fast atomic database replacement: cdbmake can rewrite an entire database two orders of magnitude faster than other hashing packages.
Fast database dumps: cdbdump prints the contents of a database in cdbmake-compatible format.

cdb is designed to be used in mission-critical applications like e-mail. Database replacement is safe against system crashes. Readers don't have to pause during a rewrite.

Information for distributors

You may distribute unmodified copies of the cdb package.

Packages that need to read cdb files should incorporate the necessary portions of the cdb library rather than relying on an external cdb library.

How to install cdb

Like any other piece of software (and information generally), cdb comes with NO WARRANTY.

System requirements

cdb works only under UNIX.

Installation

Download the cdb package. The latest published cdb package is cdb-0.75.tar.gz.

Unpack the cdb package:

     gunzip cdb-0.75.tar
     tar -xf cdb-0.75.tar
     cd cdb-0.75

Compile the cdb programs:

     make

As root, install the cdb programs under /usr/local:

     make setup check

Automatic tests

You need the softlimit program for these tests:

     make rts
     ./rts > rts.out
     cmp rts.out rts.exp

Normally this prints nothing.

Beware that, starting with version 0.75, rts takes some time to run: e.g., 155 seconds on a Pentium II-350. (It writes three 4GB databases to /dev/null.)

Manual tests

Create a database from /etc/services:

     ./cdbmake-sv test.cdb test.tmp < /etc/services

Use cdbtest to test the database:

     ./cdbtest < test.cdb

The bad length and not found tallies should be 0. The different record tally should be 0 unless you have the same service listed on several lines in /etc/services.

Try retrieving particular records from the database:

     ./cdbget smtp/tcp < test.cdb && echo ''
     ./cdbget @25/tcp < test.cdb && echo ''

Try printing some database statistics:

     ./cdbstats < test.cdb

The numbers should decrease rapidly past d0.

To report success:

     ( echo 'First M. Last'; cat `cat SYSDEPS` ) \
     | mail djb-sysdeps@cr.yp.to

Replace First M. Last with your name.
