Copying or moving a database file from one database environment to another, and then modifying it, can result in data corruption if the LSNs are not first cleared.</p> <p>Note that LSNs should be reset before moving or copying the database file into a new database environment, rather than moving or copying the database file and then resetting the LSNs. Berkeley DB has consistency checks that may be triggered if an application calls DbEnv::lsn_reset on a database in a new environment when the database LSNs still reflect the old environment.</p> <p>The DbEnv::lsn_reset method modifies the physical file, in-place. Applications should not reset LSNs in files that are currently in use.</p> <p>The DbEnv::lsn_reset method may be called at any time during the life of the application.</p> <p>The DbEnv::lsn_reset method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure, and returns 0 on success. </p> <h3>Parameters</h3> <dl compact> <dt><b>file</b><dd>The name of the physical file in which the LSNs are to be cleared. <dt><b>flags</b><dd>The <b>flags</b> parameter must be set to 0 or the following value: <dl compact> <dt>DB_ENCRYPT<dd>The file contains encrypted databases. </dl> </dl> <h3>Errors</h3> <p>The DbEnv::lsn_reset method may fail and throw <a href="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/api_cxx/except_class.html">DbException</a>, encapsulating one of the following non-zero errors, or return one of the following non-zero errors:</p> <dl compact> <dt>EINVAL<dd>An invalid flag value or parameter was specified. </dl> <hr size=1 noshade> <h3>Class</h3> <a href="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/api_cxx/env_class.html">DbEnv</a> <h3>See Also</h3> <a href="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/api_cxx/env_list.html">Database Environments and Related Methods</a> </tt> <table width="100%"><tr><td><br></td><td align=right> <a href="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/api_cxx/api_core.html"><img src="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/images/api.gif" alt="API"></a><a href="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/ref/toc.html"><img src="../../db46-devel-4.6.21/images/ref.gif" alt="Ref"></a> </td></tr></table> <p><font size=1>Copyright (c) 1996,2007 Oracle.
