The Berkeley DB version 2 library provides backward-compatible
|
||
interfaces for the historic UNIX <a href="../api_reference/C/dbm.html" class="olink">dbm</a>, <a href="../api_reference/C/dbm.html" class="olink">ndbm</a> and <a href="../api_reference/C/hsearch.html" class="olink">hsearch</a>
|
||
interfaces. It also provides a backward-compatible interface for the
|
||
historic Berkeley DB 1.85 release.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Berkeley DB version 2 does not provide database compatibility for any
|
||
of the previous interfaces, and existing databases must be converted
|
||
manually. To convert existing databases from the Berkeley DB 1.85
|
||
format to the Berkeley DB version 2 format, review the <a href="../api_reference/C/db_dump.html" class="olink">db_dump185</a> utility and
|
||
the <a href="../api_reference/C/db_load.html" class="olink">db_load</a> utility information. No utilities are provided to convert UNIX
|
||
<a href="../api_reference/C/dbm.html" class="olink">dbm</a>, <a href="../api_reference/C/dbm.html" class="olink">ndbm</a> or <a href="../api_reference/C/hsearch.html" class="olink">hsearch</a> databases.
