zebra_db.rs

//! Provides high-level access to the database using [`zebra_chain`] types.
//!
//! This module makes sure that:
//! - all disk writes happen inside a RocksDB transaction, and
//! - format-specific invariants are maintained.
//!
//! # Correctness
//!
//! [`crate::constants::state_database_format_version_in_code()`] must be incremented
//! each time the database format (column, serialization, etc) changes.
