JoeGruff 4481196118 ffldb: Add dbErr to error description.
Add the reason for bad inserts, updates, and deletes to the error
description and display key as hex in order to give the user more
information when the database errors. This is especially useful for
upgrades which may fail for several reasons, such as low disc space,
which the user will now be informed about.

Build Status ISC License Doc

Package database provides a block and metadata storage database.

Please note that this package is intended to enable dcrd to support different database backends and is not something that a client can directly access as only one entity can have the database open at a time (for most database backends), and that entity will be dcrd.

When a client wants programmatic access to the data provided by dcrd, they'll likely want to use the rpcclient package which makes use of the JSON-RPC API.

However, this package could be extremely useful for any applications requiring Decred block storage capabilities.

The default backend, ffldb, has a strong focus on speed, efficiency, and robustness. It makes use of leveldb for the metadata, flat files for block storage, and strict checksums in key areas to ensure data integrity.

Feature Overview

  • Key/value metadata store
  • Decred block storage
  • Efficient retrieval of block headers and regions (transactions, scripts, etc)
  • Read-only and read-write transactions with both manual and managed modes
  • Nested buckets
  • Iteration support including cursors with seek capability
  • Supports registration of backend databases
  • Comprehensive test coverage

Installation

$ go get github.com/decred/dcrd/database2

Examples

  • Basic Usage Example Demonstrates creating a new database and using a managed read-write transaction to store and retrieve metadata.

  • Block Storage and Retrieval Example Demonstrates creating a new database, using a managed read-write transaction to store a block, and then using a managed read-only transaction to fetch the block.
