Wrapper for the UNIX-style Database Manager Library
The DBM class provides a wrapper to a Unix-style Database Manager library.
Dbm databases do not have tables or columns; they are simple key-value data stores, like a Ruby Hash except not resident in RAM. Keys and values must be strings.
The exact library used depends on how Ruby was compiled. It could be any of the following
- The original ndbm library is released in 4.3BSD. It is based on dbm library in Unix Version 7 but has different API to support multiple databases in a process.
- Berkeley DB versions 1 thru 6, also known as BDB and Sleepycat DB, now owned by Oracle Corporation.
- Berkeley DB 1.x, still found in 4.4BSD derivatives FreeBSD, OpenBSD, etc.
- GDBM, the GNU implementation of dbm.
- QDBM, another open source reimplementation of dbm.
All of these dbm implementations have their own Ruby interfaces available, which provide richer but varying APIs.
