URLS http://raa.ruby-lang.org/search.rhtml?search=sldb http://codeforpeople.com/lib/ruby/sldb ABOUT sldb is a multi-thread, multi-process, and nfs safe abstraction of sqlite databases. the sldb module is a class generator for concrete databases. so long as all access if via sldb multi-process and multi-process application may safely access a single sqlite database without worrying about the details of handling access when the database is locked. all operations, including db creation and initialisation, are atomic - even on nfs. the database has a built-in leasing mechanism which can detect failing nfs lockd servers and auto-recover. if your database is not on nfs this does not apply.
