Greetings all,
I have some questions about the bsddb package that comes with Python 2.3
that I can't find answers for. I've googled and read the documentation.
1. Does the Berkeley database from Sleepycat need to be installed
separately from Python, or is it included? The documentation states
that bsddb requires the Berkeley DB library 3.1 or later, but it seems
to work without it (on Debian, at least - I don't think it's installed).
2. My anticipated application requires several users to access the same
database. I can open the same database with several users, but changes
made by one user don't show up in the other user's data, and whoever
closes the database last gets the "final say", as it were - their data
overwrites the data of the users that closed before them. I suspect the
DBEnv function is needed somehow, but I can't figure out how to make it
work. I do not get enlightenment from the updated documentation on
Sourceforge.
Can anyone help, or point me to some documentation that will explain
these things?
Thanks,
Mike
