NAME
snobol4sqlite3dbm - "dbm" style interface for SNOBOL4 using SQLite3

SYNOPSIS
    -INCLUDE 'ndbm.sno'

            dbhandle = SQL3DBM_OPEN(file,flags,mode)

            SQL3DBM_CLOSE(dbhandle)

            SQL3DBM_STORE(dbhandle,key,datum,flags)

            datum = SQL3DBM_FETCH(dbhandle,key)

            SQL3DBM_DELETE(dbhandle,key)

            key = SQL3DBM_FIRSTKEY(dbhandle)

            key = SQL3DBM_NEXTKEY(dbhandle)

            SQL3DBM_ERRMSG(dbhandle)

DESCRIPTION
A DBM compatible interface for snobol4(1) using the sqlite3 embedded database engine, and allows concurrent access by multiple processes.

DBM_OPEN
    takes a filename (STRING), and ignores any additional arguments, and returns a database handle.

DBM_CLOSE
    takes a database handle and closes it.

DBM_STORE
    takes a database handle, a key, a value, and a flag, one of SQL3DBM_INSERT or SQL3DBM_REPLACE.

DBM_FETCH
    takes a database handle and a key and returns a datum (if any) stored with that key.

DBM_DELETE
    takes a database handle and a key and deletes the stored datum (if any).

SQL3DBM_FIRSTKEY
    takes a database handle and returns a database key.

SQL3DBM_NEXTKEY
    takes a database handle and returns a database key when called after SQL3DBM_FIRSTKEY.

SQL3DBM_ERRMSG
    takes a database handle and string for the last sqlite3 database error.

COMPATIBILITY
database compatible with Python sqlite3dbm
