The <code class="methodname">DB->upgrade()</code> method upgrades all of the databases included in

the file <span class="bold"><strong>file</strong></span>, if necessary. If no

upgrade is necessary, <code class="methodname">DB->upgrade()</code> always returns success.

<p>

<span class="bold"><strong>Database upgrades are done in place and are

<span class="bold"><strong>This flag is only meaningful when upgrading

databases from releases before the Berkeley DB 3.1 release.</strong></span>

</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 applications to specify whether
|
||
duplicate data items in the database are sorted or not. Specifying
|
||
the DB_DUPSORT flag informs <code class="methodname">DB->upgrade()</code> 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>
|
||
Further, because the <code class="methodname">DB->upgrade()</code> method upgrades a physical file
|
||
(including all the databases it contains), it is not possible to use
|
||
<code class="methodname">DB->upgrade()</code> to upgrade files in which 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 of the databases that support
|
||
duplicate data items support the same style of duplicates (either
|
||
sorted or unsorted), <code class="methodname">DB->upgrade()</code> will work correctly as long as the
|
||
DB_DUPSORT flag is correctly specified. Otherwise, the file cannot be
|
||
upgraded using <code class="methodname">DB->upgrade;()</code> it must be upgraded manually by dumping
|
||
and reloading the databases.
