|
||
The <span class="command"><strong>db_upgrade</strong></span> utility upgrades the Berkeley DB version of one or more
|
||
files and the databases they contain to the current release version.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The options are as follows:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<div class="itemizedlist">
|
||
<ul type="disc">
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<span class="bold"><strong>-h</strong></span>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Specify a home directory for the database environment; by default, the
|
||
current working directory is used.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<span class="bold"><strong>-N</strong></span>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Do not acquire shared region mutexes while running. Other problems,
|
||
such as potentially fatal errors in Berkeley DB, will be ignored as
|
||
well. This option is intended only for debugging errors, and should
|
||
not be used under any other circumstances.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<span class="bold"><strong>-P</strong></span>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Specify an environment password. Although Berkeley DB utilities
|
||
overwrite password strings as soon as possible, be aware there may be
|
||
a window of vulnerability on systems where unprivileged users can see
|
||
command-line arguments or where utilities are not able to overwrite
|
||
the memory containing the command-line arguments.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<span class="bold"><strong>-s</strong></span>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This flag is only meaningful when upgrading databases from releases
|
||
before the Berkeley DB 3.1 release.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
As part of the upgrade from the Berkeley DB 3.0 release to the 3.1
|
||
release, the on-disk format of duplicate data items changed. To
|
||
correctly upgrade the format requires that applications specify
|
||
whether duplicate data items in the database are sorted or not.
|
||
Specifying the <span class="bold"><strong>-s</strong></span> flag means that the
|
||
duplicates are sorted; otherwise, they are assumed to be unsorted.
|
||
Incorrectly specifying the value of this flag may lead to database
|
||
corruption.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Because the <span class="command"><strong>db_upgrade</strong></span> utility upgrades a physical file (including all
|
||
the databases it contains), it is not possible to use <span class="command"><strong>db_upgrade</strong></span> to
|
||
upgrade files where some of the databases it includes have sorted
|
||
duplicate data items, and some of the databases it includes have
|
||
unsorted duplicate data items. If the file does not have more than a
|
||
single database, if the databases do not support duplicate data items,
|
||
or if all the databases that support duplicate data items support the
|
||
same style of duplicates (either sorted or unsorted), <span class="command"><strong>db_upgrade</strong></span> will
|
||
work correctly as long as the <span class="bold"><strong>-s</strong></span> flag
|
||
is correctly specified. Otherwise, the file cannot be upgraded using
|
||
<span class="command"><strong>db_upgrade</strong></span>, and must be upgraded manually using the
|
||
<a class="xref" href="db_dump.html" title="db_dump">db_dump</a> and
|
||
<a class="xref" href="db_load.html" title="db_load">db_load</a> utilities.

<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<span class="bold"><strong>-V</strong></span>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Write the library version number to the standard output, and exit.
|
||
</p>

||
</li>
|

<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<span class="bold"><strong>-v</strong></span>

|

<p>
|

Run in verbose mode, displaying a message for each successful upgrade.

<p>
|

<span class="bold"><strong>It is important to realize that Berkeley DB
|
||
database upgrades are done in place, and so are potentially
|
||
destructive.</strong></span> This means that if the system crashes during
|
||
the upgrade procedure, or if the upgrade procedure runs out of disk
|
||
space, the databases may be left in an inconsistent and unrecoverable
|
||
state. See <a href="../../programmer_reference/am_upgrade.html" class="olink">Upgrading databases</a> for more information.

<p>
|
||
The <span class="command"><strong>db_upgrade</strong></span> utility may be used with a Berkeley DB environment (as
|
||
described for the <span class="bold"><strong>-h</strong></span> option, the
|
||
environment variable <span class="bold"><strong>DB_HOME</strong></span>, or
|
||
because the utility was run in a directory containing a Berkeley DB
|
||
environment). In order to avoid environment corruption when using a
|
||
Berkeley DB environment, <span class="command"><strong>db_upgrade</strong></span> should always be given the chance
|
||
to detach from the environment and exit gracefully. To cause
|
||
<span class="command"><strong>db_upgrade</strong></span> to release all environment resources and exit cleanly, send
|
||
it an interrupt signal (SIGINT).
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <span class="command"><strong>db_upgrade</strong></span> utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error
|
||
occurs.
