gdbm.syncmode = boolean â boolean Instance Public methods Turns the database's synchronization mode on or off. If the synchronization mode is turned on, the database's in-memory state will be synchronized to disk after every database modification operation. If the synchronization mode is turned off, GDBM does not wait for writes to be flushed to the disk before continuing. This option is only available for gdbm >= 1.8 where syncmode is turned off by default. See also: fastmode=

gdbm.sync â gdbm Instance Public methods Unless the gdbm object has been opened with the SYNC flag, it is not guarenteed that database modification operations are immediately applied to the database file. This method ensures that all recent modifications to the database are written to the file. Blocks until all writing operations to the disk have been finished.
