The DB_ENV object is the handle for a Berkeley DB environment
— a collection including support for some or all of caching, locking, logging and
transaction subsystems, as well as databases and log files. Methods of the
DB_ENV handle are used to configure the environment as well as
to operate on subsystems and databases in the environment.
DB_ENV handles
are created using the db_env_create
method, and
are opened using the DB_ENV->open()
method.
When you are done using your environment, close it using the DB_ENV->close() method. Before closing your environment, make sure all open database handles are closed first. See the DB->close() method for more information.
