The Dbc object is the handle for a cursor into a Berkeley DB database. The handle is not free-threaded. Cursor handles may be used by multiple threads, but only serially, that is, the application must serialize access to the Dbc handle.</p> <p>If the cursor is to be used to perform operations on behalf of a transaction, the cursor must be opened and closed within the context of that single transaction. Once <A HREF="../../../com/sleepycat/db/Dbc.html#close()"><CODE>Dbc.close</CODE></A> has been called, the handle may not be accessed again, regardless of the method's return.</p>
