Trouble reading string entries

[Maria Gullickson]

I've got a BDB where all the keys & values are just ascii.  I am able to read and write the BDB directly using the C++ interface provided by Oracle.  I am using this .NET interface to also read and write from a C# application.  I am successfully able to write things to the BDB that I can then read from C++ as expected.  But I can't seem to get reading to work in the C# / .NET layer.  Basically, here is what my code looks like, but it is returning Not Found for keys that I know are there.

  string keyStr = "Report";
  byte[] keyBytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(keyStr.ToCharArray());
  DbEntry key = DbEntry.InOut(keyBytes);
  DbEntry data = DbEntry.Out(new byte[2048]);
  BerkeleyDb.ReadStatus result = _analysisBDBBtree.Get(null, ref key, ref data, 0);

Is there anything clearly wrong with this?  I've tried a few variations on it, but had no luck.

Thanks for any pointers!

AT a first glance I don't see an error.
Are you reading data written through the C++ API?
Maybe you check if the keys written through C++ contain the null terminator?

If that is not the case, can you post a complete piece of code (writing + reading) where you can duplicate the problem?

Hmm...poking around a bit more...I have no trouble reading in C# entries that were written in C#, and I am able to read entries that were written by a previous process that is already complete.  I think that the problem is that I need to look into environments, so processes running at the same time can work together better.  Sorry for the not-quite-right question.  I'm off to read up on environments now...

[Maria Gullickson]

Just to follow up, environments was in fact the problem.  Once I got those set up and working, the above code worked fine.

Glad you got it working.
