The <a href="../api_reference/C/dbput.html" class="olink">DB->put()</a> method stores records into the database. In general,
|
||
<a href="../api_reference/C/dbput.html" class="olink">DB->put()</a> takes a key and stores the associated data into the
|
||
database.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
There are a few flags that you can set to customize storage:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<div class="variablelist">
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt>
|
||
<span class="term">
|
||
<a href="../api_reference/C/dbput.html#dbput_DB_APPEND" class="olink">DB_APPEND</a>
|
||
</span>
|
||
</dt>
|
||
<dd>
|
||
Simply append the data to the end of the database, treating
|
||
the database much like a simple log. This flag is only
|
||
valid for the Heap, Queue and Recno access methods.
|
||
This flag is required if you are creating a new record in a Heap
|
||
database.
|
||
</dd>
|
||
<dt>
|
||
<span class="term">
|
||
<a href="../api_reference/C/dbput.html#put_DB_NOOVERWRITE" class="olink">DB_NOOVERWRITE</a>
|
||
</span>
|
||
</dt>
|
||
<dd>
|
||
Only store the data item if the key does not already appear
|
||
in the database.
|
||
</dd>
|
||
</dl>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>
|
||
If the database has been configured to support duplicate records,
|
||
the <a href="../api_reference/C/dbput.html" class="olink">DB->put()</a> method will add the new data value at the end of the
|
||
duplicate set. If the database supports sorted duplicates, the new
|
||
data value is inserted at the correct sorted location.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
|
||
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
If you are using the Heap access method and you are creating a
|
||
new record in the database, then the key that you provide to
|
||
the <a href="../api_reference/C/dbput.html" class="olink">DB->put()</a> method should be empty. The <a href="../api_reference/C/dbput.html" class="olink">DB->put()</a> method will
|
||
return the record's ID (RID) in the key. The RID is
|
||
automatically created for you when Heap database records are
|
||
created.
