Class Method Summary

• .new(path, opts) {|env| ... } ⇒ Environment

  Open an LMDB database environment.

Class Method Details

.new(path, opts) {|env| ... } ⇒ Environment

Open an LMDB database environment. The database environment is the root object for all operations on a collection of databases. It has to be opened first, before individual databases can be opened or created in the environment. The database should be closed when it is no longer needed.

The options hash on this method includes all the flags listed in LMDB::Environment#flags as well as the options documented here.

Examples:

Open environment and pass options

env = LMDB.new "dbdir", :maxdbs => 30, :mapasync => true, :writemap => true

Pass environment to block

LMDB.new "dbdir" do |env|
  # ...
end

Parameters:

• path (String) —

  the path to the files containing the database

• opts (Hash) —

  options for the database environment

Options Hash (opts):

• :mode (Number) —

  The Posix permissions to set on created files.

• :maxreaders (Number) —

  The maximum number of concurrent threads that can be executing transactions at once. Default is 126.

• :maxdbs (Number) —

  The maximum number of named databases in the environment. Not needed if only one database is being used.

• :mapsize (Number) —

  The size of the memory map to be allocated for this environment, in bytes. The memory map size is the maximum total size of the database. The size should be a multiple of the OS page size. The default size is about 10MiB.

Yields:

• (env) —

  The block to be executed with the environment. The environment is closed afterwards.

Yield Parameters:

• env (Environment) —

  The environment

Returns:

• (Environment)
