Description Noriko Hosoi 2009-03-23 19:10:08 UTC
Description of problem:
Question from Community:
I found a file called dbtest.c in fds source code.
The actual purpose the file written is - “ldbm database test program”. (from the comment inside file)

The function dbtest_help() inside the dbtest.c clearly shows some command line help messages such as

i => traverse index keys and ID list values" 
t => traverse index keys and values" ;
T => traverse index keys";
u => traverse id2entry keys and values" ;
U => traverse id2entry keys";
l<c> => lookup index";
L<c> => lookup index (all)";
t<c> => traverse index keys… etc,

But I could not find any specific tool which uses the functions which exists inside dbtest.c. I tried using all the available tools in FDS I didn’t find any tool which invokes this dbtest_help () function.

Other than dbverify, dbscan, is there really any testing tool available for database testing OR 
This file is in the source code as an intention of using it in future FDS releases.

Can somebody clarify my doubt?

1) Stop the server
2) Run the command line.  Then, I put "i" to dbtest, then "sn" to attr:
# /usr/sbin/ns-slapd dbtest -D /etc/dirsrv/slapd-your_instance_name -n userRoot
ldbm database test mode

index key prefixes:
          +  presence      (sn=*)
          =  equality      (sn=jensen)
          ~  approximate   (sn~=jensin)
          *  substring     (sn=jen*)
          :  matching rule (sn:1.2.3.4.5:=Jensen)
          \  continuation

commands: i => traverse index keys and ID list values
          t => traverse index keys and values
          T => traverse index keys
          u => traverse id2entry keys and values
          U => traverse id2entry keys
dbtest: i
 attr: sn
        key: * al
        data: Regular block (count=60, max=1202)
                id: 18482912
                id: 0
                id: 32
                id: 0
                id: 49
                id: 0
                id: 18891783

But it eventually crashed on my test machine.

Hi Noriko,

It seems that this bug is for the source code changes in the dbtest.c file.
Can you please guide, how should I verify this.

Thanks,
Amita

Hi, Amita.

The server binary used to take "dbtest" as an option for testing db, but it was gotten rid of by this bug fix.

For instance, db2ldif could be run like this:
/usr/sbin/ns-slapd db2ldif -D /etc/dirsrv/slapd-ID -n userRoot -a /path/to/output

In the same way, we used to be able to set dbtest like this:
/usr/sbin/ns-slapd dbtest D /etc/dirsrv/slapd-ID -n userRoot

Now it just issues this usage.  That is, "dbtest" was dropped.
usage: ns-slapd -D configdir [ldif2db | db2ldif | archive2db | db2archive | db2index | refer | suffix2instance | upgradedb | upgradednformat | dbverify] [options]

Comment 6 Amita Sharma 2011-05-12 08:01:26 UTC
[root@testvm amsharma]# /usr/sbin/ns-slapd dbtest -D /etc/dirsrv/slapd-testvm/ -n userRoot
usage: ns-slapd -D configdir [ldif2db | db2ldif | archive2db | db2archive | db2index | refer | suffix2instance | upgradedb | upgradednformat | dbverify] [options]

[root@testvm amsharma]# locate dbtest
/usr/share/doc/dstat-0.7.0/examples/tdbtest

[root@testvm amsharma]# find / -name dbtest

Yes, It is removed. Marking the bug as VERIFIED.
