Chapter 4. Access Method Operations

Once a database handle has been created using db_create, there are several standard access method operations. Each of these operations is performed using a method that is referenced from the returned handle. The operations are as follows:

• DB→close Close the database.

• DB→cursor Open a cursor into the database.

• DB→del Delete a record.

• DB→get Retrieve a record.

• DB→open Open a database.

• DB→put Store a record.

• DB→stat Return statistics about the database.

• DB→sync Flush the underlying cache.

• DB→upgrade Upgrade a database.
