[PHP-DEV] berkeley db and dba

2002-10-28 Thread David Viner
Hi,
I noticed that the ext/dba extension allows me to use Berkeley DB.  I'm
interested in using some of the newer features in Berkeley DB v4
(sleepycat's latest release).  In particular, there are a set of features
regarding a db environment.  See
http://www.sleepycat.com/docs/ref/env/intro.html for more information if
you're interested.  Basically the things that really attract me to this are
the memory pools that might allow multiple apache processes to use shared
memory (file-backed or system memory) for caching data.  But the dba
extension doesn't seem to provide any hooks for these calls, or other
db-specific functions.  What is the best way for me to get access to these
functions?


thanks
dave viner

You can either provide patches and check back with the
current maintainer (if any or apply for an account yourself)
or open a bug report (feature reqest) about it at
bugs.php.net
