Description

By analogy with standard file open modes. Useful modes include

  • read-only (get a database that exists, but don't save changes back)
  • force the database being opened actually exists (crash if absent)
  • force the database being opened is fresh (crash if exists)
  • overwrite the database being opened with a fresh one (truncate on open if exists)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at the current implementation of bayeslite open and the documentation for file open modes. Determine how to integrate read only, force exists, force fresh, and overwrite modes into the function signature and behavior.
