<p>
|
||
The <code class="methodname">DB->close()</code> method flushes cached database information to
|
||
disk, closes any open cursors, frees allocated resources, and
|
||
closes underlying files. When the close operation for a cursor fails,
|
||
the method returns a non-zero error value for the first instance of such an error,
|
||
and continues to close the rest of the cursors and database handles.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Although closing a database handle will close any open cursors, it
|
||
is recommended that applications explicitly close all their
|
||
<a class="link" href="dbc.html" title="Chapter 3. The DBcursor Handle">DBcursor</a> handles
|
||
before closing the database. The reason why is that when
|
||
the cursor is explicitly closed, the memory allocated for it is
|
||
reclaimed; however, this will <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> happen if
|
||
you close a database while cursors are still opened.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The same rule, for the same reasons, hold true for
|
||
<a class="link" href="txn.html" title="Chapter 12. The DB_TXN Handle">DB_TXN</a>
|
||
handles. Simply make sure you close all your transaction handles
|
||
before closing your database handle.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Because key/data pairs are cached in memory, applications should
|
||
make a point to always either close database handles or sync their
|
||
data to disk (using the <a class="xref" href="dbsync.html" title="DB->sync()">DB->sync()</a>
|
||
method) before exiting, to ensure that any data cached in main memory are
|
||
reflected in the underlying file system.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
When called on a database that is the primary database for a secondary
|
||
index, the primary database should be closed only after all secondary
|
||
indices referencing it have been closed.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
When multiple threads are using the <a class="link" href="db.html" title="Chapter 2. The DB Handle">DB</a>
|
||
concurrently, only a single thread may call the <code class="methodname">DB->close()</code> method.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <a class="link" href="db.html" title="Chapter 2. The DB Handle">DB</a> handle may not be
|
||
accessed again after <code class="methodname">DB->close()</code> is called, regardless of its return.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
If you do not close the <a class="link" href="db.html" title="Chapter 2. The DB Handle">DB</a> handle explicitly, it will be closed when
|
||
the environment handle that owns the <a class="link" href="db.html" title="Chapter 2. The DB Handle">DB</a> handle is closed.

The <code class="methodname">DB->close()</code> <span>

Do not flush cached information to disk. This flag is a

dangerous option. It should be set only if the application is doing

while writing data to the database. To ensure that database

corruption never occurs, applications must either: use transactions
|

and logging with automatic recovery; use logging and

||
application-specific recovery; or edit a copy of the database, and
|

once all applications using the database have successfully called
