<p>In Berkeley DB 3.0, there are no longer separate structures that represent
each subsystem (for example, DB_LOCKTAB or DB_TXNMGR), and an overall
<a href="../api_reference/C/env.html" class="olink">DB_ENV</a> environment structure. Instead there is only the
<a href="../api_reference/C/env.html" class="olink">DB_ENV</a> references
should be passed around by your application instead of passing around
DB_LOCKTAB or DB_TXNMGR references.</p>
<p>Each of the following functions:</p>
<pre class="programlisting">lock_detect
lock_get
lock_id
lock_put
lock_stat
lock_vec</pre>
<p>should have its first argument, a reference to the DB_LOCKTAB structure,
replaced with a reference to the enclosing <a href="../api_reference/C/env.html" class="olink">DB_ENV</a> structure. For
example, the following line of code from a Berkeley DB 2.X application:</p>
<pre class="programlisting">DB_LOCKTAB *lt;
DB_LOCK lock;
ret = lock_put(lt, lock);</pre>
<p>should now be written as follows:</p>
<pre class="programlisting">DB_ENV *dbenv;
DB_LOCK *lock;
ret = lock_put(dbenv, lock);</pre>
<p>Similarly, all of the functions:</p>
<pre class="programlisting">log_archive
log_compare
log_file
log_flush
log_get
log_put
log_register
log_stat
log_unregister</pre>
<p>should have their DB_LOG argument replaced with a reference to a
<a href="../api_reference/C/env.html" class="olink">DB_ENV</a> structure, and the functions:</p>
<pre class="programlisting">memp_fopen
memp_register
memp_stat
memp_sync
memp_trickle</pre>
<p>should have their DB_MPOOL argument replaced with a reference to a
<a href="../api_reference/C/env.html" class="olink">DB_ENV</a> structure.</p>
<p>You should remove all references to DB_LOCKTAB, DB_LOG, DB_MPOOL, and
DB_TXNMGR structures from your application, they are no longer useful
in any way. In fact, a simple way to identify all of the places that
need to be upgraded is to remove all such structures and variables
they declare, and then compile. You will see a warning message from
your compiler in each case that needs to be upgraded.</p>
