## Description

The GdaDataModelBdb object allows to access the contents of a Berkeley DB database as a GdaDataModel object.

By default the resulting GdaDataModel contains only two columns (named "key" and "data") of type GDA_TYPE_BINARY, but this object can be subclassed to convert the key or data part of a BDB record into several columns (implement the `create_key_columns()`, `create_data_columns()`, `get_key_part()`, and `get_data_part()` virtual methods).

    } GdaDataModelBdbClass;

### GdaDataModelBdbPrivate

    typedef struct _GdaDataModelBdbPrivate GdaDataModelBdbPrivate;

### gda_data_model_bdb_new ()

    GdaDataModel *      gda_data_model_bdb_new              (const gchar *filename,
                                                             const gchar *db_name);

Creates a new GdaDataModel object to access the contents of the Berkeley DB file `file`, for the database `db_name` if not `NULL`

`filename` : | name of the file containing the database
`db_name` : | the name of the database within `filename`, or `NULL`
Returns : | a new GdaDataModel

### gda_data_model_bdb_get_errors ()

    const GSList *      gda_data_model_bdb_get_errors       (GdaDataModelBdb *model);

Get the list of errors which have occurred while using `model`

`model` : | a GdaDataModelBdb object
Returns : | a read-only list of GError pointers, or `NULL` if no error has occurred

### gda_data_model_bdb_clean_errors ()

    void                gda_data_model_bdb_clean_errors     (GdaDataModelBdb *model);

Reset the list of errors which have occurred while using `model`

`model` : | a GdaDataModelBdb object
