A database is always associated with a module. A module that wishes to maintain a database must declare the terms that can be placed in the database using the directive persistent/1. The persistent/1 expands each declaration into four predicates: * name(Arg, ...) * assert_name(Arg, ...) * retract_name(Arg, ...) * retractall_name(Arg, ...) As mentioned, a database can only be accessed from within a single module. This limitation is on purpose, forcing the user to provide a proper API for accessing the shared persistent data. Below is a simple example: == :- module(user_db, [ attach_user_db/1, % +File current_user_role/2, % ?User, ?Role add_user/2, % +User, +Role set_user_role/2 % +User, +Role ]). :- use_module(library(persistency)). :- persistent user_role(name:atom, role:oneof([user,administrator])). attach_user_db(File) :- db_attach(File, []). %% current_user_role(+Name, -Role) is semidet. current_user_role(Name, Role) :- with_mutex(user_db, user_role(Name, Role)). add_user(Name, Role) :- assert_user_role(Name, Role). set_user_role(Name, Role) :- user_role(Name, Role), !. set_user_role(Name, Role) :- with_mutex(user_db, ( retractall_user_role(Name, _), assert_user_role(Name, Role))). == @tbd Provide type safety while loading @tbd Thread safety must now be provided at the user-level. Can we provide generic thread safety? Basically, this means that we must wrap all exported predicates. That might better be done outside this library. @tbd Transaction management? @tbd Should assert_ only assert if the database does not contain a variant? */ :- meta_predicate db_attach(:, +), db_sync(:), current_persistent_predicate(:). /******************************* * DB * *******************************/ :- dynamic db_file/3, % Module, File, Modified db_stream/2, % Module, Stream db_dirty/2, % Module, Deleted db_option/2. % Module, Name(Value) :- volatile db_stream/2. :- multifile (persistent)/3, % Module, Generic, Term prolog:generated_predicate/1. /******************************* * DECLARATIONS * *******************************/ %% persistent(+Spec) % % Declare dynamic database terms.
