In
|

<span>
|
||
<a href="environments.html">Environments</a>,
|
||
</span>
|
||
|
||
|
||
we introduced
|
||
environments. While environments are not used in the example built in this book,
|
||
they are so commonly used for a wide class of DB applications that it is
|
||
necessary to show their basic usage, if only from a completeness perspective.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
To use an environment, you must first
|
||
<span>
|
||
create the environment handle using <tt class="classname"></tt>, and then
|
||
</span>
|
||
open it. At open time, you must identify the directory in
|
||
which it resides. This directory must exist prior to the open attempt.
|
||
You can also identify open properties, such as whether the environment can be
|
||
created if it does not already exist.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
You will also need to initialize the in-memory cache when you open your environment.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
For example, to
|
||
<span>create an environment handle and</span>
|
||
open an environment:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<a id="c_env1"></a>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting">#include <db.h>
|
||
...
|
||
DB_ENV *myEnv; /* Env structure handle */
|
||
DB *dbp; /* DB structure handle */
|
||
u_int32_t db_flags; /* database open flags */
|
||
u_int32_t env_flags; /* env open flags */
|
||
int ret; /* function return value */
|
||
|
||
/*
|
||
Create an environment object and initialize it for error
|
||
reporting.
|
||
*/
|
||
ret = db_env_create(&myEnv, 0);
|
||
if (ret != 0) {
|
||
fprintf(stderr, "Error creating env handle: %s\n", db_strerror(ret));
|
||
return -1;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
/* Open the environment. */
|
||
env_flags = DB_CREATE | /* If the environment does not exist,
|
||
* create it. */
|
||
DB_INIT_MPOOL; /* Initialize the in-memory cache. */
|
||
|
||
ret = myEnv->open(myEnv, /* DB_ENV ptr */
|
||
"/export1/testEnv", /* env home directory */
|
||
env_flags, /* Open flags */
|
||
0); /* File mode (default) */
|
||
if (ret != 0) {
|
||
fprintf(stderr, "Environment open failed: %s", db_strerror(ret));
|
||
return -1;
|
||
} </pre>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Once an environment is opened, you can open databases in it. Note that by default databases
|
||
are stored in the environment's home directory, or relative to that directory if you
|
||
provide any sort of a path in the database's file name:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<a id="c_env2"></a>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting">/*
|
||
* Initialize the DB structure. Pass the pointer
|
||
* to the environment in which this DB is opened.
|
||
*/
|
||
ret = db_create(&dbp, myEnv, 0);
|
||
if (ret != 0) {
|
||
/* Error handling goes here */
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
/* Database open flags */
|
||
db_flags = DB_CREATE; /* If the database does not exist,
|
||
* create it.*/
|
||
|
||
/* open the database */
|
||
ret = dbp->open(dbp, /* DB structure pointer */
|
||
NULL, /* Transaction pointer */
|
||
"my_db.db", /* On-disk file that holds the database. */
|
||
NULL, /* Optional logical database name */
|
||
DB_BTREE, /* Database access method */
|
||
db_flags, /* Open flags */
|
||
0); /* File mode (using defaults) */
|
||
if (ret != 0) {
|
||
/* Error handling goes here */
|
||
}</pre>
|
||
<p>
|
||
When you are done with an environment, you must close it. Before you close an environment,
|
||
make sure you close any opened databases.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<a id="c_env3"></a>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting">/*
|
||
* Close the database and environment
|
||
*/
|
||
|
||
if (dbp != NULL) {
|
||
dbp->close(dbp, 0);
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
if (myEnv != NULL) {
|
||
myEnv->close(myEnv, 0);
