The <code class="methodname">DB->remove()</code> method removes the database specified by the
|
||
<span class="bold"><strong>file</strong></span> and <span class="bold"><strong>database</strong></span> parameters. If no <span class="bold"><strong>database</strong></span> is specified, the underlying file
|
||
represented by <span class="bold"><strong>file</strong></span> is removed,
|
||
incidentally removing all of the databases it contained.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Applications should never remove databases with open
|
||
<a class="link" href="db.html" title="Chapter 2. The DB Handle">DB</a> handles, or in the case of
|
||
removing a file, when any database in the file has an open handle.
|
||
For example, some architectures do not permit the removal of files
|
||
with open system handles. On these architectures, attempts to remove
|
||
databases currently in use by any thread of control in the system may
|
||
fail.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <code class="methodname">DB->remove()</code> method should not be called if the remove is
|

intended to be transactionally safe; the
|
||
<a class="xref" href="envdbremove.html" title="DB_ENV->dbremove()">DB_ENV->dbremove()</a> method
|
||
should be used instead.
|

</p>
|

<p>
|
||
The <code class="methodname">DB->remove()</code> method may not be called after calling the

been called on a <a class="link" href="db.html" title="Chapter 2. The DB Handle">DB</a>

The <a class="link" href="db.html" title="Chapter 2. The DB Handle">DB</a> handle may not be
