//! reth's database abstraction layer.
//!
//! The database abstraction assumes that the underlying store is a KV store subdivided into tables.
//!
//! One or more changes are tied to a transaction that is atomically committed to the data store at
//! the same time. Strong consistency in what data is written and when is important for reth, so it
//! is not possible to write data to the database outside of using a transaction.
//!
//! Good starting points for this crate are:
//!
//! - [`Database`] for the main database abstraction
//! - [`DbTx`] (RO) and [`DbTxMut`] (RW) for the transaction abstractions.
//! - [`DbCursorRO`] (RO) and [`DbCursorRW`] (RW) for the cursor abstractions (see below).
//!
//! # Cursors and Walkers
//!
//! The abstraction also defines a couple of helpful abstractions for iterating and writing data:
//!
//! - **Cursors** ([`DbCursorRO`] / [`DbCursorRW`]) for iterating data in a table. Cursors are
//! assumed to resolve data in a sorted manner when iterating from start to finish, and it is safe
//! to assume that they are efficient at doing so.
//! - **Walkers** ([`Walker`] / [`RangeWalker`] / [`ReverseWalker`]) use cursors to walk the entries
//! in a table, either fully from a specific point, or over a range.
//!
//! Dup tables (see below) also have corresponding cursors and walkers (e.g. [`DbDupCursorRO`]).
//! These **should** be preferred when working with dup tables, as they provide additional methods
//! that are optimized for dup tables.
//!
//! # Tables
//!
//! reth has two types of tables: simple KV stores (one key, one value) and dup tables (one key,
//! many values). Dup tables can be efficient for certain types of data.
//!
//! Keys are de/serialized using the [`Encode`] and [`Decode`] traits, and values are de/serialized
//! ("compressed") using the [`Compress`] and [`Decompress`] traits.
//!
//! Tables implement the [`Table`] trait.
