Hello!
Situation:
I'm trying to build a Berkeley DB that holds a bilingual dictionary, say
English-Russian, in a single physical database file. English-to-Russian
equivalents go into one subdatabase, Russian-to-English go into another
subdatabase.
The database is opened like this:
# English-to-Russian subdatabase
@trn_db1 = BDB::Hash.open(dbfile, "trans1", BDB::CREATE) # (1)
# Russian-to-English subdatabase
@trn_db2 = BDB::Hash.open(dbfile, "trans2", BDB::CREATE) # (2)
There is also defined a procedure that, from a single English-to-Russian
pair sets/updates data in the two subdatabases in the following way:
@trn_db1[enword] = merge(@trn_db1[enword], newdata...) # (3)
@trn_db2[ruword] = merge(@trn_db2[ruword], newdata...) # (4)
The trouble is...
Running this stuff, I get the following error at (3):
`[]': PANIC: Invalid argument -- DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run
database recovery (BDB::Fatal)
But it is still possible to compile the dictionary in two runs, by first
compiling Russian-to-English section (4) and then English-to-Russian
(3). Which surprises me most is that it does not work viceversa, first
(3) then (4)!
Can someone explain what's going on with Ruby/BDB or the bug is in my
head
.
Thanx in advance
