<p>
The <code class="methodname">DbTxn::prepare()</code> method initiates the beginning of a two-phase
commit.
</p>
<p>
In a distributed transaction environment, Berkeley DB can be used as a
local transaction manager. In this case, the distributed transaction
manager must send <span class="emphasis"><em>prepare</em></span> messages to each local
manager. The local manager must then issue a <code class="methodname">DbTxn::prepare()</code> and
await its successful return before responding to the distributed
transaction manager. Only after the distributed transaction manager
receives successful responses from all of its
<span class="emphasis"><em>prepare</em></span> messages should it issue any
<span class="emphasis"><em>commit</em></span> messages.
</p>
<p>
In the case of nested transactions, preparing the parent causes all
unresolved children of the parent transaction to be committed. Child
transactions should never be explicitly prepared. Their fate will be
resolved along with their parent's during global recovery.
</p>
<p>
All open cursors in the transaction are closed and the
first cursor close error will be returned.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DbTxn::prepare()</code> <span>
<span>
method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an
exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
failure, and returns 0 on success.
</span>
</span>
The errors that this method returns include the error values of <code class="methodname">Dbc::close()</code> and the following:
