set_last_expire¶

public instance (Boolean) set_last_expire (Integer $time)

Description: This method sets the last expire time.

get_running_expire_tok¶

public instance (String $time) get_running_expire_tok ()

Description: This method determines if an expire is currently running and returns the last time set.

There can be multiple times, so we just pull the greatest (most recent) value.

set_running_expire_tok¶

public instance (String $time) set_running_expire_tok ()

Description: This method sets the time that an expire starts running.

remove_running_expire_tok¶

public instance (Boolean) remove_running_expire_tok ()

Description: This method removes the row in the database that indicates that and expire is currently running.

tok_get¶

public instance (Integer, Integer, Integer) tok_get (String $token)

Description: This method retrieves a specificed token ($token) from the database and returns its spam_count, ham_count and last access time.

tok_get_all¶

public instance (\@) tok_get (@ $tokens)

Description: This method retrieves the specified tokens ($tokens) from storage and returns an array ref of arrays spam count, ham acount and last access time.

tok_count_change¶

public instance (Boolean) tok_count_change (
Integer $dspam, Integer $dham, String $token, String $newatime)

Description: This method takes a $spam_count and $ham_count and adds it to $tok along with updating $toks atime with $atime.

multi_tok_count_change¶

public instance (Boolean) multi_tok_count_change (
Integer $dspam, Integer $dham, \% $tokens, String $newatime)

Description: This method takes a $dspam and $dham and adds it to all of the tokens in the $tokens hash ref along with updating each tokens atime with $atime.

nspam_nham_get¶

public instance ($spam_count, $ham_count) nspam_nham_get ()

Description: This method retrieves the total number of spam and the total number of ham learned.

nspam_nham_change¶

public instance (Boolean) nspam_nham_change (Integer $num_spam,
Integer $num_ham)

Description: This method updates the number of spam and the number of ham in the database.

tok_touch¶

public instance (Boolean) tok_touch (String $token,
String $atime)

Description: This method updates the given tokens ($token) atime.

The assumption is that the token already exists in the database.

We will never update to an older atime

tok_touch_all¶

public instance (Boolean) tok_touch (\@ $tokens
String $atime)

Description: This method does a mass update of the given list of tokens $tokens, if the existing token atime is < $atime.

The assumption is that the tokens already exist in the database.

We should never be touching more than N_SIGNIFICANT_TOKENS, so we can make some assumptions about how to handle the data (ie no need to batch like we do in tok_get_all)

cleanup¶

public instance (Boolean) cleanup ()

Description: This method perfoms any cleanup necessary before moving onto the next operation.

get_magic_re¶

public instance (String) get_magic_re ()

Description: This method returns a regexp which indicates a magic token.

Description: Performs an upgrade of the database from one version to another, not currently used in this implementation.

clear_database¶

public instance (Boolean) clear_database ()

Description: This method deletes all records for a particular user.

Callers should be aware that any errors returned by this method could causes the database to be inconsistent for the given user.

backup_database¶

public instance (Boolean) backup_database ()

Description: This method will dump the users database in a machine readable format.

restore_database¶

public instance (Boolean) restore_database (String $filename, Boolean $showdots)

String $index)

Description: This method ensures that the database connection is properly setup and working. If appropriate it will initialize a users bayes variables so that they can begin using the database immediately.

_put_token¶

FIXME: This is rarely a good interface, because of the churn that will often happen in the "magic" tokens. Open-code this stuff in the presence of loops.
