Specifically, this includes <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/dbc_class.html">DBC</a> and <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/txn_class.html">DB_TXN</a> handles.</p> <p>Because key/data pairs are cached in memory, failing to sync the file with the DB->close or <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/db_sync.html">DB->sync</a> method may result in inconsistent or lost information.</p> <p>When called on a database that is the primary database for a secondary index, the primary database should be closed only after all secondary indices which reference it have been closed.</p> <p>When multiple threads are using the <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/db_class.html">DB</a> concurrently, only a single thread may call the DB->close method.</p> <p>The <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/db_class.html">DB</a> handle may not be accessed again after DB->close is called, regardless of its return.</p> <p>The DB->close method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. </p> <b>Parameters</b> <br> <b>flags</b><ul compact><li>The <b>flags</b> parameter must be set to 0 or by bitwise inclusively <b>OR</b>'ing together one or more of the following values: <br> <b><a name="DB_NOSYNC">DB_NOSYNC</a></b><ul compact><li>Do not flush cached information to disk. The <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/db_close.html#DB_NOSYNC">DB_NOSYNC</a> flag is a dangerous option. It should be set only if the application is doing logging (with transactions) so that the database is recoverable after a system or application crash, or if the database is always generated from scratch after any system or application crash. <p><b>It is important to understand that flushing cached information to disk only minimizes the window of opportunity for corrupted data.</b> Although unlikely, it is possible for database corruption to happen if a system or application crash occurs while writing data to the database. To ensure that database corruption never occurs, applications must either: use transactions and logging with automatic recovery; use logging and application-specific recovery; or edit a copy of the database, and once all applications using the database have successfully called DB->close, atomically replace the original database with the updated copy.</p></ul> <br></ul> <br> <br><b>Errors</b> <p>The DB->close method may fail and return one of the following non-zero errors:</p> <br> <b>EINVAL</b><ul compact><li>An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.</ul> <br> <hr size=1 noshade> <br><b>Class</b> <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/db_class.html">DB</a> <br><b>See Also</b> <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/db_list.html">Databases and Related Methods</a> </tt> <table width="100%"><tr><td><br></td><td align=right> <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/api_core.html"><img src="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/images/api.gif" alt="API"></a><a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/ref/toc.html"><img src="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/images/ref.gif" alt="Ref"></a> </td></tr></table> <p><font size=1>Copyright (c) 1996,2008 Oracle.
