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. the programmer is freed from worrying about 'database locked' errors and transactions are automatically retried using a linear cyclical backoff time. in the case where all access is via the generated class sldb can even detect certain bugs in nfs daemons and auto-recover. the class is not limited to nfs use whatsover and can be a useful way to use an embedded sql based databases in your ruby code with minimal effort while still providing multi-process/multi-thread concurrency - something which is quite difficult if using the raw sqlite-ruby interface.
