Daybreak is a simple key value store for ruby. It has user defined persistence, and all data is stored in a table in memory so ruby niceties are available. Daybreak is faster than other ruby options like pstore or dbm.

The original code doesn't appear to be maintained anymore. I maintain it for my own personal and work projects.

rake build
daybreak 0.3.2 built to pkg/daybreak-0.3.2.gem

Do not install by calling: gem install daybreak, you are going to install the old version, which does not work with newer versions of ruby. Install from the local gem as follows:

gem install --force --no-document pkg/daybreak-0.3.2.gem

If you are not using rvm, sudo the command.

See the examples/ directory for sample scripts:

• ruby create_db.rb - create database
• ruby dump_db.rb - dump all data
• ruby dump_db_json.rb - dump in pretty print JSON format
• ruby update_db.rb - update some records
• ruby delete_db.rb - delete some records
• ruby batch.rb - batch operations
• ruby maintenance.rb - maintenance tasks
• safe_daybreak.rb - Safely read/write by checking disk space to avoid corruption.
