<h3>Description: DBcursor-&gt;del</h3>
<p>The DBcursor-&gt;del method deletes the key/data pair to which the cursor
refers.</p>
<p>When called on a cursor opened on a database that has been made into a
secondary index using the <a href="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/api_c/db_associate.html">DB-&gt;associate</a> method, the <a href="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/api_c/db_del.html">DB-&gt;del</a> method
deletes the key/data pair from the primary database and all secondary
indices.</p>
<p>The cursor position is unchanged after a delete, and subsequent calls to
cursor functions expecting the cursor to refer to an existing key will
fail.</p>
<p>The DBcursor-&gt;del method will return <a href="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/ref/program/errorret.html#DB_KEYEMPTY">DB_KEYEMPTY</a> if the element has already been deleted.
Unless otherwise specified, the DBcursor-&gt;del method
returns a non-zero error value on failure
and 0 on success.
