## Checking out the source

RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team.
It is built on earlier work on [LevelDB](https://github.com/google/leveldb) by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com)
and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)
git clone https://github.com/speedb-io/speedb.git

This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast
key-value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives.
It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs
between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF)
and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions,
making it especially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a
single database.
## Dynamically linking Speedb
If speedb is in your default library path:

Start with example usage here: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/tree/main/examples
In your `CMakeLists.txt` add:

See the [github wiki](https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki) for more explanation.
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} speedb)
where `PROJECT_NAME` is the name of your target application which uses speedb

The public interface is in `include/`. Callers should not include or
rely on the details of any other header files in this package. Those
internal APIs may be changed without warning.
Otherwise, you have to include the path to the folder the library is in like so:
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} /path/to/speedb/library/folder)

Questions and discussions are welcome on the [RocksDB Developers Public](https://www.facebook.com/groups/rocksdb.dev/) Facebook group and [email list](https://groups.google.com/g/rocksdb) on Google Groups.
## Usage
Usage of the library in your code is the same, regardless of whether you statically linked the library or dynamically linked it, and examples can be found under the [examples](examples) directory.
The public interface is in [include](include/rocksdb). Callers should not include or rely on the details of any other header files in this package. Those internal APIs may be changed without warning.

## Build dependencies
Please refer to the file [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) for a list of all the dependencies and how to install them across different platforms.

## Building Speedb
Debug:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug [cmake options]
make rocksdb

By default the build type is Debug.

Release:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release [cmake options]
make rocksdb

This will build the static library.
If you want to build the dynammic library, use:

make rocksdb-shared

If you want `make` to increase the number of cores used for building, simply use the `-j` option.

If you want to build a specific target:

RocksDB is dual-licensed under both the GPLv2 (found in the COPYING file in the root directory) and Apache 2.0 License (found in the LICENSE.Apache file in the root directory). You may select, at your option, one of the above-listed licenses.
make [target name]

For development and functional testing, go with the debug version which includes
more assertions and debug prints.
Otherwise, for production or performance testing, we recommend building a release version
which is more optimized.

## Running tests

cd build
make rocksdb
./[test name] --db=/path/to/db

for example, `db_blob_basic_test`:

cd build
make rocksdb
./db_blob_basic_test --db=/tmp/example_db

The test will generate a random DB at the specified path. This is also where speedb will store the LOG files.
