<p>

The <code class="methodname">DB->sync()</code> method flushes any cached information to disk.
|
||
This method operates on the database file level, so if the file
|
||
contains multiple database handles then this method will flush to
|
||
disk any information that is cached for any of those handles.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
If the database is in memory only, the <code class="methodname">DB->sync()</code> method has no
|
||
effect and will always succeed.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<span class="bold"><strong>It is important to understand that flushing
|
||
cached information to disk only minimizes the window of opportunity
|
||
for corrupted data.</strong></span> Although unlikely, it is possible for
|
||
database corruption to happen if a system or application crash occurs
|
||
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
|
||
<a class="xref" href="dbclose.html" title="DB->close()">DB->close()</a>, atomically
|

replace the original database with the updated copy.

When a client synchronizes with the master, it is possible for committed
|
||
transactions to be rolled back. This invalidates all the database and cursor
|
||
handles opened in the replication environment. Once this occurs, an attempt to use
|
||
such a handle will
|
||
|
||
return <code class="literal">DB_REP_HANDLE_DEAD</code>.
|
||
The application will need to discard the handle and open a new one in order to
|
||
continue processing.
