Welcome to the Berkeley DB API Reference Manual for
|
||
<span>C.</span>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
DB is a general-purpose embedded database engine that is capable of providing a wealth
|
||
of data management services. It is designed from the ground up for high-throughput
|
||
applications requiring in-process, bullet-proof management of mission-critical data. DB
|
||
can gracefully scale from managing a few bytes to terabytes of data. For the most part,
|
||
DB is limited only by your system's available physical resources.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This manual describes the various APIs and command line utilities available for use in the
|
||
DB library.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
For a general description of using DB beyond the reference material available in this
|
||
manual, see the Getting Started Guides which are identified in this manual's preface.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This manual is broken into chapters, each one of which describes a series of APIs designed to
|
||
work with one particular aspect of the DB library. In many cases, each such chapter is
|
||
organized around a "handle", or class, which provides an interface to DB structures such
|
||
as databases, environments or locks. However, in some cases, methods for multiple handles are
|
||
combined together when they are used to control or interface with some isolated DB
|
||
functionality. See, for example, the <a class="xref" href="lsn.html" title="Chapter 7. The DB_LSN Handle">
|
||
The DB_LSN Handle
|
||
</a> chapter.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Within each chapter, methods, functions and command line utilities are organized alphabetically.
