      • databaseExists

        public boolean databaseExists​(DBConfig config)
        Returns true if a Mckoi database exists in the given directory of the file system, otherwise returns false if the path doesn't contain a database.

        The path string must be formatted using Unix '/' deliminators as directory separators.

        Parameters:
        config - the configuration of the database to check the existence of.
        Returns:
        true if a database exists at the given path, false otherwise.
      • createDatabase

        public DBSystem createDatabase​(DBConfig config,
                                       java.lang.String admin_user,
                                       java.lang.String admin_pass)
        Creates a database in the local JVM (and filesystem) given the configuration in DBConfig and returns a DBSystem object. When this method returns, the database created will be up and running providing there was no failure during the database creation process.

        A failure might happen because the database path does not exist.

        Parameters:
        admin_user - the username of the administrator for the new database.
        admin_pass - the password of the administrator for the new database.
        config - the configuration of the database to create and start in the local JVM.
        Returns:
        the DBSystem object used to access the database created.
      • startDatabase

        public DBSystem startDatabase​(DBConfig config)
        Starts a database in the local JVM given the configuration in DBConfig and returns a DBSystem object. When this method returns, the database will be up and running providing there was no failure to initialize the database.

        A failure might happen if the database does not exist in the path given in the configuration.

        Parameters:
        config - the configuration of the database to start in the local JVM.
        Returns:
        the DBSystem object used to access the database started.
      • getDefault

        public static DBController getDefault()
        Returns the static controller for this JVM.
