[cobalt-developers] gdbm database file portability

["Matthew Nuzum" <cobalt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey group,

 

In reference to the Mips based servers.

 

If you create a dbm file using the gdbm library on an intel platform and
then move it over to a mips based platform will it still be readable, or
does the dbm format change when you go from one platform to the next?

 

If I remember correctly, (my raq2 has been de-commissioned) the Raq2 has
ndbm library, not gdbm.  I assume that gdbm will install pretty easily on
the raq 2, if not, do you think that ndbm would read the gdbm files?
