The remote database api
Remote database is a set of interfaces to use an abstract database of Tokyo Cabinet, mediated by a server of Tokyo Tyrant.
To use the remote database API, include `tcrdb.h' and related standard header files. Usually, write the following description near the front of a source file.
#include <tcrdb.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stdint.h>

`expr' specifies an operand exression.
The function `tcrdbqrysetorder' is used in order to set the order of a query object.
void tcrdbqrysetorder(RDBQRY *qry, const char *name, int type);
`qry' specifies the query object.
`name' specifies the name of a column. An empty string means the primary key.
`type' specifies the order type: `RDBQOSTRASC' for string ascending, `RDBQOSTRDESC' for string descending, `RDBQONUMASC' for number ascending, `RDBQONUMDESC' for number descending.
The function `tcrdbqrysetlimit' is used in order to set the limit number of records of the result of a query object.
void tcrdbqrysetlimit(RDBQRY *qry, int max, int skip);
`qry' specifies the query object.
`max' specifies the maximum number of records of the result. If it is negative, no limit is specified.
`skip' specifies the number of skipped records of the result. If it is not more than 0, no record is skipped.
The function `tcrdbqrysearch' is used in order to execute the search of a query object.
TCLIST *tcrdbqrysearch(RDBQRY *qry);
`qry' specifies the query object.
The return value is a list object of the primary keys of the corresponding records. This function does never fail. It returns an empty list even if no record corresponds.
Because the object of the return value is created with the function `tclistnew', it should be deleted with the function `tclistdel' when it is no longer in use.
The function `tcrdbqrysearchout' is used in order to remove each record corresponding to a query object.
bool tcrdbqrysearchout(RDBQRY *qry);
`qry' specifies the query object of the database.
If successful, the return value is true, else, it is false.
The function `tcrdbqrysearchget' is used in order to get records corresponding to the search of a query object.
TCLIST *tcrdbqrysearchget(RDBQRY *qry);
`qry' specifies the query object.
The return value is a list object of zero separated columns of the corresponding records.
This function does never fail. It returns an empty list even if no record corresponds. Each element of the list can be treated with the function `tcrdbqryrescols'. Because the object of the return value is created with the function `tclistnew', it should be deleted with the function `tclistdel' when it is no longer in use.
The function `tcrdbqryrescols' is used in order to get columns of a record in a search result.
TCMAP *tcrdbqryrescols(TCLIST *res, int index);
`res' specifies a list of zero separated columns of the search result.
`index' the index of a element of the search result.
The return value is a map object containing columns.
Because the object of the return value is created with the function `tcmapnew', it should be deleted with the function `tcmapdel' when it is no longer in use.
The function `tcrdbqrysearchcount' is used in order to get the count of corresponding records of a query object.
int tcrdbqrysearchcount(RDBQRY *qry);
`qry' specifies the query object.
The return value is the count of corresponding records or 0 on failure.
The function `tcrdbqryhint' is used in order to get the hint string of a query object.
const char *tcrdbqryhint(RDBQRY *qry);
`qry' specifies the query object.
The return value is the hint string.
This function should be called after the query execution by `tcrdbqrysearch' and so on. The region of the return value is overwritten when this function is called again.
The function `tcrdbmetasearch' is used in order to retrieve records with multiple query objects and get the set of the result.
TCLIST *tcrdbmetasearch(RDBQRY **qrys, int num, int type);
`qrys' specifies an array of the query objects.
`num' specifies the number of elements of the array.
`type' specifies a set operation type: `RDBMSUNION' for the union set, `RDBMSISECT' for the intersection set, `RDBMSDIFF' for the difference set.
The return value is a list object of the primary keys of the corresponding records. This function does never fail. It returns an empty list even if no record corresponds.
If the first query object has the order setting, the result array is sorted by the order. Because the object of the return value is created with the function `tclistnew', it should be deleted with the function `tclistdel' when it is no longer in use.
The function `tcrdbparasearch' is used in order to search records for multiple servers in parallel.
TCLIST *tcrdbparasearch(RDBQRY **qrys, int num);
`qrys' specifies an array of the query objects.
`num' specifies the number of elements of the array.
The return value is a list object of zero separated columns of the corresponding records.
This function does never fail. It returns an empty list even if no record corresponds. Each element of the list can be treated with the function `tcrdbqryrescols'. Because the object of the return value is created with the function `tclistnew', it should be deleted with the function `tclistdel' when it is no longer in use.
