Throughout the remainder of this book, we will add 89 replication to this example. We do this to underscore the concepts 90 that we are presenting in this book; the first being that you 91 should start with a working transactional program and then add 92 replication to it. 93 </p> 94 <p> 95 Note that this book assumes you already know how to write a 96 transaction-protected DB application, so we will not be 97 covering those concepts in this book. To learn how to write a 98 transaction-protected application, see the 99 <em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB Getting Started with Transaction Processing</em> guide. 100 </p> 101 <div class="sect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> 102 <div class="titlepage"> 103 <div> 104 <div> 105 <h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="appoverview"></a>Application Overview</h2> 106 </div> 107 </div> 108 </div> 109 <p> 110 Our application maintains a stock market quotes database. 111 This database contains records whose key is the stock 112 market symbol and whose data is the stock's price. 113 </p> 114 <p> 115 The application operates by presenting you with a command 116 line prompt. You then enter the stock symbol and its value, 117 separated by a space. The application takes this 118 information and writes it to the database. 119 </p> 120 <p> 121 To see the contents of the database, simply press 122 <code class="literal">return</code> at the command prompt. 123 </p> 124 <p> 125 To quit the application, type 'quit' or 'exit' at the 126 command prompt. 127 </p> 128 <p> 129 For example, the following illustrates the application's 130 usage. In it, we use entirely fictitious stock market 131 symbols and price values. 132 </p> 133 <pre class="programlisting">> ./ex_rep_gsg_simple -h env_home_dir 134QUOTESERVER> stock1 88 135QUOTESERVER> stock2 .08 136QUOTESERVER> 137 Symbol Price 138 ====== ===== 139 stock1 88 140 stock2 .08 141 142QUOTESERVER> stock1 88.9 143QUOTESERVER> 144 Symbol Price 145 ====== ===== 146 stock1 88.9 147 stock2 .08 148 149QUOTESERVER> quit 150></pre> 151 </div> 152 </div> 153 <div class="navfooter"> 154 <hr /> 155 <table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"> 156 <tr> 157 <td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="permmessages.html">Prev</a>��</td> 158 <td width="20%" align="center">��</td> 159 <td width="40%" align="right">��<a accesskey="n" href="simpleprogramlisting.html">Next</a></td> 160 </tr> 161 <tr> 162 <td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Permanent Message Handling��</td> 163 <td width="20%" align="center"> 164 <a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a> 165 </td> 166 <td width="40%" align="right" valign="top">��Program Listing</td> 167 </tr> 168 </table> 169 </div> 170 </body> 171</html> 172
