<b>Description: DBcursor->del</b>
|
|
<p>The DBcursor->del method deletes the key/data pair to which the cursor
|
|
refers.</p>
|
|
<p>When called on a cursor opened 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 <a href="../api_c/db_del.html">DB->del</a> method
|
|
deletes the key/data pair from the primary database and all secondary
|
|
indices.</p>
|
|
<p>The cursor position is unchanged after a delete, and subsequent calls to
|
|
cursor functions expecting the cursor to refer to an existing key will
|
|
fail.</p>
|
|
<p>The DBcursor->del method will return <a href="../ref/program/errorret.html#DB_KEYEMPTY">DB_KEYEMPTY</a> if the element has already been deleted.
|
|
Unless otherwise specified, the DBcursor->del method
|
|
returns a non-zero error value on failure
|
|
and 0 on success.
|
|
