The DB_ENV Handle

<p>
The <code class="classname">DB_ENV</code> object is the handle for a Berkeley DB environment
— a collection including support for some or all of caching, locking, logging and
transaction subsystems, as well as databases and log files. Methods of the
<code class="classname">DB_ENV</code> handle are used to configure the environment as well as
to operate on subsystems and databases in the environment.
</p>
<p>
<code class="classname">DB_ENV</code> handles
<span>
are created using the <a class="xref" href="envcreate.html" title="db_env_create">db_env_create</a>
method, and
</span>
are opened using the <a class="xref" href="envopen.html" title="DB_ENV-&gt;open()">DB_ENV-&gt;open()</a>
method.
</p>
<p>
When you are done using your environment, close it using the
<a class="xref" href="envclose.html" title="DB_ENV-&gt;close()">DB_ENV-&gt;close()</a> method. Before closing your
environment, make sure all open database handles are closed first. See the
<a class="xref" href="dbclose.html" title="DB-&gt;close()">DB-&gt;close()</a> method for more information.
