The <code class="methodname">DB->del()</code> method removes key/data pairs from the database. The
|
||
key/data pair associated with the specified <span class="bold"><strong>key</strong></span> is discarded from the database. In the

presence of duplicate key values, all records associated with the

designated key will be discarded.

<p>

When called on a database that has been made into a secondary index
|
||
using the <a class="xref" href="dbassociate.html" title="DB->associate()">DB->associate()</a> method, the
|
||
<code class="methodname">DB->del()</code> method deletes the key/data pair from the primary database
|

and all secondary indices.
|

</p>
|

<p>

The <code class="methodname">DB->del()</code> method will return <a href="../../programmer_reference/program_errorret.html#program_errorret.DB_NOTFOUND" class="olink">DB_NOTFOUND</a> if the specified key

is not in the database. The <code class="methodname">DB->del()</code> method will return <a href="../../programmer_reference/program_errorret.html#program_errorret.DB_KEYEMPTY" class="olink">DB_KEYEMPTY</a> if the database is a
|

Queue or Recno database and the specified key exists, but was never explicitly created by

the application or was later deleted. Unless otherwise specified, the

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

<p>

If the database is of type DB_QUEUE then this flag may be set to force the head of the queue

<p>

A successful bulk delete operation is logically equivalent to a loop through each
