DB_LOAD(1)                   BerkeleyDB Utilities                   DB_LOAD(1)

NAME
       db_load - Read and load data from standard input
SYNOPSIS
       db_load  [-nTV]  [-c name=value] [-f input] [-h home] [-P password] [-t
       btree | hash | queue | recno] file
       db_load [-r lsn | fileid] [-h home] [-P password] file
DESCRIPTION
       The db_load utility reads from the standard input and loads it into the
       database  file.  The  database  file  is created if it does not already
       exist.
       The input to db_load must be in the  output  format  specified  by  the
       db_dump utility, or as specified by the -T option below.
OPTIONS
       -c name=value
              Specify  configuration  options ignoring any value they may have
              based on the input.  The command-line format is name=value.  See
              the Supported Keywords section below for a list of keywords sup-
              ported by the -c option.
       -f input
              Read from the specified input file instead of from the  standard
              input.
       -h home
              Specify a home directory for the database environment.
              If  a  home  directory is specified, the database environment is
              opened  using  the  DB_INIT_LOCK,  DB_INIT_LOG,   DB_INIT_MPOOL,
              DB_INIT_TXN,  and  DB_USE_ENVIRON  flags to DB_ENV->open.  (This
              means that db_load can be used to load data into databases while
              they  are  in  use by other processes.) If the DB_ENV->open call
              fails, or if no home directory is  specified,  the  database  is
              still  updated,  but the environment is ignored; for example, no
              locking is done.
       -n     Do not overwrite existing keys in the database when loading into
              an  already  existing  database.   If  a key/data pair cannot be
              loaded into the database for this reason, a warning  message  is
              displayed  on  the  standard error output, and the key/data pair
              are skipped.
       -P password
              Specify an environment password.  Although Berkeley DB utilities
              overwrite  password  strings as soon as possible, be aware there
              may be a window of vulnerability on systems  where  unprivileged
              users  can see command-line arguments or where utilities are not
              able to overwrite the memory containing the  command-line  argu-
              ments.
       -r     Reset the database's file ID or log sequence numbers (LSNs).
              All  database pages in transactional environments contain refer-
              ences to the environment's log records.   In  order  to  copy  a
              database  into  a  different database environment, database page
              references to the old environment's log records must  be  reset,
              otherwise  data  corruption can occur when the database is modi-
              fied in the new environment.  The -r lsn option resets  a  data-
              base's log sequence numbers.
              All databases contain an ID string used to identify the database
              in the database environment cache.  If a database is copied, and
              used  in  the  same environment as another file with the same ID
              string, corruption can occur.  The -r fileid   option  resets  a
              database's file ID to a new value.
              In  both cases, the physical file specified by the file argument
              is modified in-place.
       -T     The -T option allows non-Berkeley DB applications to easily load
              text files into databases.
              If  the  database to be created is of type Btree or Hash, or the
              keyword keys is specified as set, the input must be paired lines
              of  text,  where the first line of the pair is the key item, and
              the second line of the pair is its corresponding data item.   If
              the  database  to  be  created is of type Queue or Recno and the
              keyword keys is not set, the input must be lines of text,  where
              each line is a new data item for the database.
              A simple escape mechanism, where newline and backslash (\) char-
              acters are special, is applied to the text input.  Newline char-
              acters  are interpreted as record separators.  Backslash charac-
              ters in the text will be interpreted in one of two ways: If  the
              backslash  character  precedes  another backslash character, the
              pair will be interpreted as a literal backslash.  If  the  back-
              slash character precedes any other character, the two characters
              following the backslash will be  interpreted  as  a  hexadecimal
              specification  of a single character; for example, \0a is a new-
              line character in the ASCII character set.
              For this reason, any backslash or newline characters that  natu-
              rally occur in the text input must be escaped to avoid misinter-
              pretation by db_load.
              If the -T option is specified, the underlying access method type
              must be specified using the -t option.
       -t     Specify the underlying access method.  If no -t option is speci-
              fied, the database will be loaded into a database  of  the  same
              type as was dumped; for example, a Hash database will be created
              if a Hash database was dumped.
              Btree and Hash databases may be converted from one to the other.
              Queue  and  Recno  databases  may  be  converted from one to the
              other.  If the -k option was specified on the  call  to  db_dump
              then  Queue  and  Recno  databases  may be converted to Btree or
              Hash, with the key being the integer record number.
       -V     Write the library version number to  the  standard  output,  and
              exit.
       The  db_load  utility  may  be  used with a Berkeley DB environment (as
       described for the -h  option,  the  environment  variable  DB_HOME,  or
       because  the  utility  was  run in a directory containing a Berkeley DB
       environment).  In order to avoid environment corruption  when  using  a
       Berkeley  DB  environment, db_load should always be given the chance to
       detach from the environment and exit gracefully.  To cause  db_load  to
       release  all  environment resources and exit cleanly, send it an inter-
       rupt signal (SIGINT).
EXIT STATUS
       The db_load utility exits 0 on success, 1 if one or more key/data pairs
       were  not loaded into the database because the key already existed, and
       >1 if an error occurs.
ENVIRONMENT
       DB_HOME
              If the -h option is not specified and the  environment  variable
              DB_HOME  is set, it is used as the path of the database home, as
              described in DB_ENV->open.
EXAMPLES
       The db_load utility can be used to load text files into databases.  For
       example, the following command loads the standard UNIX /etc/passwd file
       into a database, with the login name as the key  item  and  the  entire
       password entry as the data item:
       awk -F: '{print $1; print $0}' < /etc/passwd |
               sed 's/\\/\\\\/g' | db_load -T -t hash passwd.db
       Note  that  backslash  characters  naturally  occurring in the text are
       escaped to avoid interpretation as escape characters by db_load.
