[OT] How to get BerkeleyDB working?

[Torsten Foertsch]

Hi,

this is not really a mod_perl question but I know there is wisdom about it on 
the list.

So, I want to write a number of key-value pairs to a bdb database as a 
transaction. Here is my code:

  my ($db, $env)=($I->bdb_db, $I->bdb_env);
  my $txn=$env->txn_begin;
  $txn->Txn($db);

  my $count;
#  $db->truncate($count);
#  warn '['.localtime()."] deleted $count records from db\n";

  $count=0;
  foreach my $k (keys %update) {
    $db->db_put( $k, $update{$k} );
    $count++;
  }
  $db->db_sync;
  warn '['.localtime()."] wrote $count records to db\n";

  return !$txn->txn_commit;


The bdb environment is created with these flags:

  -Flags => DB_CREATE| DB_INIT_MPOOL | DB_INIT_LOCK | DB_INIT_TXN,

txn_commit return 0 what as I have learned from examples stand for success.

The program says it has put ~1500 to the db but the file on disk is not 
touched.

What is wrong?

Thanks,
Torsten
