NAME¶
TM::Materialized::MLDBM2 - Topic Maps, DBM Storage (synchronous)
SYNOPSIS¶
NOTE: THIS PACKAGE IS NOW DEPRECATED
NOTE: USE TM::ResourceAble::MLDBM INSTEAD
use TM::Materialized::MLDBM2;
{
my $tm = new TM::Materialized::MLDBM2 (file => '/tmp/map.dbm');
# modify the map here.....
} # it goes out of scope here, and all changes are written back automagically
# later in the game
{
my $tm = new TM::Materialized::MLDBM2 (file => '/tmp/map.dbm');
# we are back in business, no sync necessary
}
DESCRIPTION¶
This package just implements TM with a BerkeleyDB store. Unlike
TM::Materialized::MLDBM this module does not need explicit synchronisation
with the external resource (the DBM file here). It ties content-wise with the
DBM file at constructor time and unties at DESTROY time.
The advantage of this storage form is that there is little memory usage. Only
those fractions of the map are loaded which are actually needed. If one has
very intense interactions with the map (as a query processor has), then this
storage technique is not optimal.
INTERFACE¶
Constructor¶
The constructor expects a hash with the following keys:
- file (no default)
- This contains the file name of the DBM file to tie to.
