Dave Collins e30ceb5947 Cleanup and fix operational tests. This commit makes several changes to the operation tests as follows: - Ensure the database is closed between each operational mode test as otherwise the database is locked when trying to reopening it which makes it unusable - Make the insert tests error after a single failure since every test afterwards is guaranteed to fail as well - Remove some of the logging statements which cluttered up the failed test prints making it harder to see why a given test failed - Make a couple of the log messages more descriptive		2013-05-29 16:11:13 -05:00

btcdb

Package btcdb provides a database interface for the bitcoin block chain and transactions. There is a test suite which is aiming to reach 100% code coverage coverage. See test_coverage.txt for the current coverage (using gocov). On a UNIX-like OS, the script cov_report.sh can be used to generate the report. Package btcjson is licensed under the liberal ISC license.

Sample Use

	db, err := btcdb.CreateDB("sqlite", "dbexample")
	newHeight, err := db.InsertBlock(block)
	db.Sync()
