<p>
There are a number of functions that flush pages from the Berkeley DB shared memory buffer pool
to disk. Most of those functions can potentially fail because a page that needs to be flushed
is not currently available. However, this is not a hard failure and is rarely cause for
concern. In the Berkeley DB 3.2 release, the C++ API (if that API is configured to throw
exceptions) and the Java API have been changed so that this failure does not throw an exception,
but rather returns a non-zero error code of <code class="literal">DB_INCOMPLETE</code>.
</p>
<p>
The following C++ methods will return <code class="literal">DB_INCOMPLETE</code> rather than throw
an exception:
<a href="../api_reference/CXX/dbclose.html" class="olink">Db::close</a>,
<a href="../api_reference/CXX/dbsync.html" class="olink">Db::sync</a>,
<a href="../api_reference/CXX/mempsync.html" class="olink">DbEnv::memp_sync</a>,
<a href="../api_reference/CXX/txncheckpoint.html" class="olink">DbEnv::txn_checkpoint</a>,
and <a href="../api_reference/CXX/mempfsync.html" class="olink">DbMpoolFile::memp_fsync</a>.
</p>
<p>
The following Java methods are now declared "public int" rather than "public void", and will
return <code class="literal">Db.DB_INCOMPLETE</code> rather than throw an exception:
<code class="methodname">Db.close()</code>, <code class="methodname">Db.sync()</code>, and
<code class="methodname">DbEnv.checkpoint()</code>.
</p>
<p>
It is likely that the only change required by any application will be those currently checking
for a <code class="literal">DB_INCOMPLETE</code> return that has been encapsulated in an exception.
