This document describes how to use transactions with your Berkeley DB
|
||
applications. It is intended to describe how to
|
||
transaction protect your application's data. The APIs used to perform this task
|
||
are described here, as are the environment infrastructure and administrative tasks
|
||
required by a transactional application. This book also
|
||
describes multi-threaded <span>and
|
||
multi-process</span> DB applications and the requirements they
|
||
have for deadlock detection.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This book is aimed at the software engineer responsible for writing a
|
||
transactional DB application.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This book assumes that you have already read and understood the
|
||
concepts contained in the
|
||
<span><i class="citetitle">Getting Started with Berkeley DB</i>
|
||
guide.</span>

||

The following typographical conventions are used within in this manual:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Class names are represented in <tt class="classname">monospaced font</tt>, as are <tt class="methodname">method
|
||
names</tt>. For example:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
<span>"The <tt class="methodname">Environment()</tt>
|
||
constructor returns an <tt class="classname">Environment</tt> class object."</span>
|
||
|
||
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Variable or non-literal text is presented in <span class="emphasis"><em>italics</em></span>. For example: "Go to your
|
||
<span class="emphasis"><em>DB_INSTALL</em></span> directory."
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Program examples are displayed in a <tt class="classname">monospaced font</tt> on a shaded background.
|
||
For example:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting">import com.sleepycat.db.DatabaseConfig;
|
||
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
// Allow the database to be created.
|
||
DatabaseConfig myDbConfig = new DatabaseConfig();
|
||
myDbConfig.setAllowCreate(true);</pre>
|
||
<p>
|
||
In some situations, programming examples are updated from one chapter to the next. When
|
||
this occurs, the new code is presented in <b class="userinput"><tt>monospaced bold</tt></b> font. For example:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting"><b class="userinput"><tt>import com.sleepycat.db.Database;</tt></b>
|
||
import com.sleepycat.db.DatabaseConfig;
|
||
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
// Allow the database to be created.
|
||
DatabaseConfig myDbConfig = new DatabaseConfig();
|
||
myDbConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
|
||
<b class="userinput"><tt>Database myDb = new Database("mydb.db", null, myDbConfig);</tt></b> </pre>
|
||
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
|
||
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Finally, notes of special interest are represented using a note block such
|
||
as this.
