//! reth's database abstraction layer. //! //! The database abstraction assumes that the underlying store is a KV store subdivided into tables. //! //! One or more changes are tied to a transaction that is atomically committed to the data store at //! the same time. Strong consistency in what data is written and when is important for reth, so it //! is not possible to write data to the database outside of using a transaction. //! //! Good starting points for this crate are: //! //! - [`Database`] for the main database abstraction //! - [`DbTx`] (RO) and [`DbTxMut`] (RW) for the transaction abstractions. //! - [`DbCursorRO`] (RO) and [`DbCursorRW`] (RW) for the cursor abstractions (see below). //! //! # Cursors and Walkers //! //! The abstraction also defines a couple of helpful abstractions for iterating and writing data: //! //! - **Cursors** ([`DbCursorRO`] / [`DbCursorRW`]) for iterating data in a table. Cursors are //! assumed to resolve data in a sorted manner when iterating from start to finish, and it is safe //! to assume that they are efficient at doing so. //! - **Walkers** ([`Walker`] / [`RangeWalker`] / [`ReverseWalker`]) use cursors to walk the entries //! in a table, either fully from a specific point, or over a range. //! //! Dup tables (see below) also have corresponding cursors and walkers (e.g. [`DbDupCursorRO`]). //! These **should** be preferred when working with dup tables, as they provide additional methods //! that are optimized for dup tables. //! //! # Tables //! //! reth has two types of tables: simple KV stores (one key, one value) and dup tables (one key, //! many values). Dup tables can be efficient for certain types of data. //! //! Keys are de/serialized using the [`Encode`] and [`Decode`] traits, and values are de/serialized //! ("compressed") using the [`Compress`] and [`Decompress`] traits. //! //! Tables implement the [`Table`] trait. //! //! [`Database`]: crate::database::Database //!
