Both the <tt class="classname">Environment</tt> and

for manipulating databases. These methods are:

<div class="itemizedlist">

<ul type="disc">
|
||
<li>
|

<p>

|

<p>
|
||
<tt class="methodname">Database.rename()</tt>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Renames the specified database. If no value is given for the
|
||
<i class="parameter"><tt>database</tt></i> parameter, then the entire file
|
||
referenced by this method is renamed.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Never rename a database that has handles opened for it. Never rename a file that
|
||
contains databases with opened handles.
|
||
</p>

|
||
null, // Database to rename. Not used so
|

// the entire file is renamed.

"newdb.db", // New name to use.

<p>

<tt class="methodname">Environment.truncateDatabase()</tt>

<p>
|
||
Deletes every record in the database and optionally returns the
|
||
number of records that were deleted. Note that it is much less
|
||
expensive to truncate a database without counting the number of
|
||
records deleted than it is to truncate and count.
