||
<p>The Berkeley DB Tcl API does not attempt to avoid evaluating input as Tcl
|
||
commands. For this reason, it may be dangerous to pass unreviewed user
|
||
input through the Berkeley DB Tcl API, as the input may subsequently be
|
||
evaluated as a Tcl command. Additionally, the Berkeley DB Tcl API
|
||
initialization routine resets process' effective user and group IDs to
|
||
the real user and group IDs, to minimize the effectiveness of a Tcl
|
||
injection attack.</p>
|
||
<p>The Tcl API closely parallels the Berkeley DB programmatic interfaces. If you
|
||
are already familiar with one of those interfaces, there will not be many
|
||
surprises in the Tcl API.</p>
|
||
<p>The Tcl API currently does not support multithreading although
|
||
it could be made to do so. The Tcl shell itself is
|
||
not multithreaded and the Berkeley DB extensions use global data unprotected
|
||
from multiple threads.</p>
|
||
<p>Several pieces of Berkeley DB functionality are not available in the Tcl API.
|
||
Any of the functions that require a user-provided function are not
|
||
supported via the Tcl API. For example, there is no equivalent to the
|
||
<a href="../api_reference/C/dbset_dup_compare.html" class="olink">DB->set_dup_compare()</a> or <a href="../api_reference/C/envset_errcall.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->set_errcall()</a> methods.
|
||
Additionally, the heap access method is not available.</p>
