Access method operations
Once a database has been opened using db_open, and a handle on that database returned, there are seven standard access method operations. Each of these operations is performed using a function that is referenced from the returned handle. The seven operations are as follows:
- DB->get
- Retrieve a record
- DB->put
- Store a record
- DB->del
- Delete a record
- DB->cursor
- Open a cursor into the database
- DB->stat
- Return statistics about the database
- DB->sync
- Flush the underlying cache
- DB->close
- Close the database
