Database Upgrade

Overview

Provides the database component.

This upgrade can be used to store item stack information. It can be configured by open its GUI by right clicking holding it in your hand and placing items in it (no actual items are stored in the item, clicking with an item in the grid will store a "ghost" stack). Alternatively, a few components allow configuring the database programmatically, such as the Inventory Controller Upgrade and the Geolyzer.

The Database Upgrade (Tier 1) is crafted using the following recipe:

• 4 x Iron Ingot
• 2 x Microchip (Tier 1)
• 1 x Hard Disk Drive (Tier 1)
• 1 x Analyzer
• 1 x Printed Circuit Board

The Database Upgrade (Tier 2) is crafted using the following recipe:

• 4 x Iron Ingot
• 2 x Microchip (Tier 2)
• 1 x Hard Disk Drive (Tier 2)
• 1 x Analyzer
• 1 x Printed Circuit Board

The Database Upgrade (Tier 3) is crafted using the following recipe:

• 4 x Iron Ingot
• 2 x Microchip (Tier 3)
• 1 x Hard Disk Drive (Tier 3)
• 1 x Analyzer
• 1 x Printed Circuit Board

Component API

Component name: database.

get

get(slot:number):table

Get the representation of the item stack stored in the specified slot.

computeHash

computeHash(slot:number):string

Computes a hash value for the item stack in the specified slot. This value is guaranteed to be the same for identical item stacks, allowing comparison of item stacks across a network (by comparing the hash values).

indexOf

indexOf(hash:string):number

Get the index of an item stack with the specified hash. Returns a negative value if no such stack was found.

clear

clear(slot:number):boolean

Clears the specified slot. Returns true if there was something in the slot before.

copy

copy(fromSlot:number, toSlot:number[, address:string]):boolean

Copies an entry to another slot, optionally to another database. Returns true if something was overwritten.

clone

clone(address:string):number

Copies the data stored in this database to another database with the specified address.

Example

local component = require("component")
local sides = require("sides")

local db = component.database -- primary database component
local invcontrol = component.inventory_controller -- primary inventory controller

-- define slot numbers
dbSlot = 1 invSlot = 1

-- compare item inside remote inventory to item in first slot of database
if db.get(dbSlot).label == invcontrol.getStackInSlot(sides.north, invSlot).label then
  -- items match, do stuff with it.
else
  -- items don't match, do nothing, or do something else.
end
