|

The <code class="methodname">DB->associate_foreign()</code> function is used to declare one database a
|
||
foreign constraint for a secondary database. The
|
||
<a class="link" href="db.html" title="Chapter 2. The DB Handle">DB</a> handle that you call the
|
||
<code class="methodname">associate_foreign()</code> method from is the foreign
|
||
database.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
After a foreign database has been "associated" with a secondary
|
||
database, all keys inserted into the secondary must exist in the
|
||
foreign database. Attempting to add a record with a foreign key
|
||
that does not exist in the foreign database will cause the put
|
||
method to fail and return <code class="literal">DB_FOREIGN_CONFLICT</code>.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Deletions in the foreign database affect the secondary in a manner
|
||
defined by the flags parameter. See
|
||
<a href="../../programmer_reference/am_foreign.html" class="olink">Foreign Indices</a>
|
||
in the <em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB Programmer's Reference Guide</em> for more information.

Berkeley DB is not re-entrant. Callback functions should not

attempt to make library calls (for example, to release locks or
|

close open handles). Re-entering Berkeley DB is not guaranteed
|

to work correctly, and the results are undefined.

When a client synchronizes with the master, it is possible for committed

transactions to be rolled back. This invalidates all the database and cursor

such a handle will

return <code class="literal">DB_REP_HANDLE_DEAD</code>.

The application will need to discard the handle and open a new one in order to

continue processing.
