Xapian:...onError(3)
💅 Xapian:...onError(3) 💅
okay bestie, welcome to the User Contributed Perl Documentation page for Xapian:...onError(3) — yes, that's the manual name, folded in right here so you don't have to stare at a duplicated header. this page is short and iconic, no cap. ✨
✨ NAME ✨
Search::Xapian::DatabaseVersionError — the error that says a database is in an unsupported format. literally its whole job. 💅
🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸
okay so here's the tea: from time to time, new versions of Xapian will require the database format to be changed, to allow new information to be stored or new optimisations to be performed. it's giving upgrade energy, bestie. 🔥
backwards compatibility will sometimes be maintained, so new versions of Xapian can open old databases. but in some cases? Xapian will be unable to open a database because it is in too old (or new) a format. 😭
this can be resolved either by upgrading or downgrading the version of Xapian in use, or by rebuilding the database from scratch with the current version of Xapian. so yeah — version match or rebuild, those are the moves. 🫶
that's the whole page, bestie: source/version perl v5.42.0, date 2022-02-28, and the page is Xapian:...onError(3). periodt. 💖
