|
<b>Description: DB->del</b>
|
|
<p>The DB->del method removes key/data pairs from the database. The
|
|
key/data pair associated with the specified <b>key</b> is discarded from
|
|
the database. In the presence of duplicate key values, all records
|
|
associated with the designated key will be discarded.</p>
|
|
<p>When called on a database that has been made into a secondary index
|
|
using the <a href="../api_c/db_associate.html">DB->associate</a> method, the DB->del method deletes the
|
|
key/data pair from the primary database and all secondary indices.</p>
|
|
<p>The DB->del method will return <a href="../ref/program/errorret.html#DB_NOTFOUND">DB_NOTFOUND</a> if the specified key is not in the database.
|
|
The DB->del method will return <a href="../ref/program/errorret.html#DB_KEYEMPTY">DB_KEYEMPTY</a> if the database is a Queue or Recno database and
|
|
the specified key exists, but was never explicitly created by the
|
|
application or was later deleted.
|
|
Unless otherwise specified, the DB->del method
|
|
returns a non-zero error value on failure
|
|
and 0 on success.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<b>Parameters</b> <br>
|
|
<b>flags</b><ul compact><li>The <b>flags</b> parameter is currently unused, and must be set to 0.</ul>
|
|
<b>key</b><ul compact><li>The key <a href="../api_c/dbt_class.html">DBT</a> operated on.</ul>
|
|
<b>txnid</b><ul compact><li>If the operation is part of an application-specified transaction, the
|
|
<b>txnid</b> parameter is a transaction handle returned from
|
|
<a href="../api_c/txn_begin.html">DB_ENV->txn_begin</a>; if the operation is part of a Berkeley DB Concurrent Data Store group, the
|
|
<b>txnid</b> parameter is a handle returned from
|
|
<a href="../api_c/env_cdsgroup_begin.html">DB_ENV->cdsgroup_begin</a>; otherwise NULL.
|
|
If no transaction handle is
|
|
specified, but the
|
|
operation occurs in a transactional
|
|
database,
|
|
the operation will be implicitly transaction protected.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br><b>Errors</b>
|
|
<p>The DB->del method
|
|
may fail and return one of the following non-zero errors:</p>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<b>DB_LOCK_DEADLOCK</b><ul compact><li>A transactional database environment operation was selected to resolve
|
|
a deadlock.</ul>
|
|
<b>DB_LOCK_NOTGRANTED</b><ul compact><li>A Berkeley DB Concurrent Data Store database environment configured for lock timeouts was unable
|
|
to grant a lock in the allowed time.</ul>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<b>DB_REP_HANDLE_DEAD</b><ul compact><li>The database handle has been invalidated because a replication election
|
|
unrolled a committed transaction.</ul>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<b>DB_REP_LOCKOUT</b><ul compact><li>The operation was blocked by client/master synchronization.</ul>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
