#include <db.h>
int
DB->put(DB *db,
DB_TXN *txnid, DBT *key, DBT *data, u_int32_t flags);
Description
The DB->put method stores key/data pairs in the database. The default
behavior of the DB->put function is to enter the new key/data
pair, replacing any previously existing key if duplicates are disallowed,
or adding a duplicate data item if duplicates are allowed. If the database
supports duplicates, the DB->put method adds the new data value at the
end of the duplicate set. If the database supports sorted duplicates,
the new data value is inserted at the correct sorted location.
If the operation is to be transaction-protected (other than by specifying
the DB_AUTO_COMMIT flag), the txnid parameter is a
transaction handle returned from DB_ENV->txn_begin; otherwise, NULL.
The flags value must be set to 0 or
one of the following values:
- DB_APPEND
- Append the key/data pair to the end of the database. For the
DB_APPEND flag to be specified, the underlying database must be
a Queue or Recno database. The record number allocated to the record is
returned in the specified key.
There is a minor behavioral difference between the Recno and Queue access
methods for the DB_APPEND flag. If a transaction enclosing a
DB->put operation with the DB_APPEND flag aborts, the
record number may be decremented (and later reallocated by a subsequent
DB_APPEND operation) by the Recno access method, but will not be
decremented or reallocated by the Queue access method.
- DB_NODUPDATA
- In the case of the Btree and Hash access methods, enter the new key/data
pair only if it does not already appear in the database. If the
key/data pair already appears in the database, DB_KEYEXIST is
returned. The DB_NODUPDATA flag may only be specified if the
underlying database has been configured to support sorted duplicates.
The DB_NODUPDATA flag may not be specified to the Queue or Recno
access methods.
- DB_NOOVERWRITE
- Enter the new key/data pair only if the key does not already appear in
the database. If the key already appears in the database,
DB_KEYEXIST is returned. Even if the database allows duplicates,
a call to DB->put with the DB_NOOVERWRITE flag set will
fail if the key already exists in the database.
In addition, the following flag may be set by
bitwise inclusively OR'ing it into the flags parameter:
- DB_AUTO_COMMIT
- Enclose the DB->put call within a transaction. If the call succeeds,
changes made by the operation will be recoverable. If the call fails,
the operation will have made no changes.
Otherwise, the DB->put method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
Errors
The DB->put method may fail and return a non-zero error for the following conditions:
- DB_LOCK_DEADLOCK
- The operation was selected to resolve a deadlock.
- EACCES
- An attempt was made to modify a read-only database.
- EINVAL
- An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.
A record number of 0 was specified.
An attempt was made to add a record to a fixed-length database that was too
large to fit.
An attempt was made to do a partial put.
An attempt was made to add a record to a secondary index.
- ENOSPC
- A btree exceeded the maximum btree depth (255).
The DB->put method may fail and return a non-zero error for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system functions.
If a catastrophic error has occurred, the DB->put method may fail and
return DB_RUNRECOVERY,
in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls will fail in the same way.
