<p>The <a href="../api_reference/C/dbget.html" class="olink">DB->get()</a> method retrieves records from the database. In general,
|
||
<a href="../api_reference/C/dbget.html" class="olink">DB->get()</a> takes a key and returns the associated data from the
|
||
database.</p>
|
||
<p>There are a few flags that you can set to customize retrieval:</p>
|
||
<div class="variablelist">
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt>
|
||
<span class="term">
|
||
<a href="../api_reference/C/dbget.html#get_DB_GET_BOTH" class="olink">DB_GET_BOTH</a>
|
||
</span>
|
||
</dt>
|
||
<dd>Search for a matching key and data item, that is, only return success
|
||
if both the key and the data items match those stored in the database.</dd>
|
||
<dt>
|
||
<span class="term">
|
||
<a href="../api_reference/C/dbcget.html#dbcget_DB_RMW" class="olink">DB_RMW</a>
|
||
</span>
|
||
</dt>
|
||
<dd>Read-modify-write: acquire write locks instead of read locks during
|
||
retrieval. This can enhance performance in threaded applications by
|
||
reducing the chance of deadlock.</dd>
|
||
<dt>
|
||
<span class="term">
|
||
<a href="../api_reference/C/dbget.html#dbget_DB_SET_RECNO" class="olink">DB_SET_RECNO</a>
|
||
</span>
|
||
</dt>
|
||
<dd>If the underlying database is a Btree, and was configured so that it
|
||
is possible to search it by logical record number, retrieve a specific
|
||
record.</dd>
|
||
</dl>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>If the database has been configured to support duplicate records,
|
||
<a href="../api_reference/C/dbget.html" class="olink">DB->get()</a> will always return the first data item in the duplicate
|
||
set.</p>
