<p>
The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;dbremove()</code> method removes the database specified by the
<span class="bold"><strong>file</strong></span> and <span class="bold"><strong>database</strong></span> parameters. If no <span class="bold"><strong>database</strong></span> is specified, the underlying file
represented by <span class="bold"><strong>file</strong></span> is removed,
incidentally removing all of the databases it contained.
</p>
<p>
Applications should never remove databases with open
<a class="link" href="db.html" title="Chapter 2.  The DB Handle">DB</a> handles, or in the case of
removing a file, when any database in the file has an open handle.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;dbremove()</code> <span>
<span>
method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.

method, or by setting the <code class="literal">set_data_dir</code> string in the environment's
