file_name which will be tha base of the database
json_serializer which will be responsible for the serialization between the database and the client This function will return a first class database module, which can be used to communicate with the database.

val create_biniou_database : 
  Lwt_io.file_name ->
  (module Serializer.Biniou_serializer with type t = 'a) ->

  unit ->
  (Record_id.t * 'a, exn) Stdlib.result list Lwt.t

Sanddb.read_all_records database unit gives back every database record, both visible and shadowed ones. The result can contain duplicate record ids. The first record in the list is the oldest record and the last one is the newest record. Creates the database file if it doesn't exists.

val read_visible_records : 
  (module Database.T with type t = 'a) ->
  unit ->
  (Record_id.t * 'a, exn) Stdlib.result list Lwt.t
