Each of these operations is performed using a method referred to by the returned handle. Generally, the database will be opened using <a href="../../api_c/db_open.html">DB->open</a>. If the database is from an old release of Berkeley DB, it may need to be upgraded to the current release before it is opened using <a href="../../api_c/db_upgrade.html">DB->upgrade</a>.</p> <p>Once a database has been opened, records may be retrieved (<a href="../../api_c/db_get.html">DB->get</a>), stored (<a href="../../api_c/db_put.html">DB->put</a>), and deleted (<a href="../../api_c/db_del.html">DB->del</a>).</p> <p>Additional operations supported by the database handle include statistics (<a href="../../api_c/db_stat.html">DB->stat</a>), truncation (<a href="../../api_c/db_truncate.html">DB->truncate</a>), version upgrade (<a href="../../api_c/db_upgrade.html">DB->upgrade</a>), verification and salvage (<a href="../../api_c/db_verify.html">DB->verify</a>), flushing to a backing file (<a href="../../api_c/db_sync.html">DB->sync</a>), and association of secondary indices (<a href="../../api_c/db_associate.html">DB->associate</a>). Database handles are eventually closed using <a href="../../api_c/db_close.html">DB->close</a>.</p> <!--$Id: m4.methods,v 1.3 2003/05/09 20:14:02 bostic Exp $--> <table border=1 align=center>
