Re: LMDB: Compare function implementation

Hi all,
I am inserting a non-zero length key into a database where I provide a

compare function. But I am seeing that MDB_val->mv_size = 0 in the compare
function. Is that possible?

If you saw it, then it must be possible...

Branch pages all start with an empty key.



More details (LMDB 0.9.11 Release):

I have a database where I want to delete all elements that have the same prefix.


void eraseElements (KeyPrefix prefix, MDB_txn *txn, MDB_dbi database)
{
   MDB_val k;

   k.mv_data = &prefix;
   k.mv_size  = sizeof (KeyPrefix);

   MDB_val v;

   MDB_cursor *cur;
   mdb_cursor_open (txn, database, &cur);
   while (! mdb_cursor_get (cur, &k, &v, MDB_SET_RANGE))
This loop is rather inefficient. Should just initialize once with SET_RANGE, and then loop using NEXT. 
   {
       if (memcmp (&prefix, k.mv_data, sizeof (KeyPrefix)) != 0) break;
       mdb_cursor_del (cur, 0);

         k.mv_data = &prefix;
         k.mv_size  = sizeof (KeyPrefix);
     }
     mdb_cursor_close (cur);
}
