As pages are emptied in a database, the Berkeley DB Btree implementation attempts to coalesce empty pages into higher-level pages in order to keep the database as small as possible and minimize search time. This can hurt performance in applications with cyclical data demands; that is, applications where the database grows and shrinks repeatedly. For example, because Berkeley DB does page-level locking, the maximum level of concurrency in a database of two pages is far smaller than that in a database of 100 pages, so a database that has shrunk to a minimal size can cause severe deadlocking when a new cycle of data insertion begins. <p>Calling DB->set_flags with the DB_REVSPLITOFF flag only affects the specified <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/db_class.html">DB</a> handle (and any other Berkeley DB handles opened within the scope of that handle).</p></ul> <br> <b>Hash</b> <p>The following flags may be specified for the Hash access method:</p> <br> <b><a name="DB_DUP">DB_DUP</a></b><ul compact><li>Permit duplicate data items in the database; that is, insertion when the key of the key/data pair being inserted already exists in the database will be successful.

That is, they will always return the key/data item from the head of the queue. <p>The default behavior of queue databases is optimized for multiple readers, and does not guarantee that record will be retrieved in the order they are added to the queue. Specifically, if a writing thread adds multiple records to an empty queue, reading threads may skip some of the initial records when the next <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/db_get.html">DB->get</a> call returns.</p> <p>This flag modifies the <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/db_get.html">DB->get</a> call to verify that the record being returned is in fact the head of the queue. This will increase contention and reduce concurrency when there are many reading threads.</p> <p>Calling DB->set_flags with the DB_INORDER flag only affects the specified <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/db_class.html">DB</a> handle (and any other Berkeley DB handles opened within the scope of that handle).</p></ul> <br> <b>Recno</b> <p>The following flags may be specified for the Recno access method:</p> <br> <a name="11"><!--meow--></a> <b><a name="DB_RENUMBER">DB_RENUMBER</a></b><ul compact><li>Specifying the DB_RENUMBER flag causes the logical record numbers to be mutable, and change as records are added to and deleted from the database. For example, the deletion of record number 4 causes records numbered 5 and greater to be renumbered downward by one. If a cursor was positioned to record number 4 before the deletion, it will refer to the new record number 4, if any such record exists, after the deletion. If a cursor was positioned after record number 4 before the deletion, it will be shifted downward one logical record, continuing to refer to the same record as it did before. <p>Using the <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/db_put.html">DB->put</a> or <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/dbc_put.html">DBcursor->put</a> interfaces to create new records will cause the creation of multiple records if the record number is more than one greater than the largest record currently in the database. For example, creating record 28, when record 25 was previously the last record in the database, will create records 26 and 27 as well as 28. Attempts to retrieve records that were created in this manner will result in an error return of <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/ref/program/errorret.html#DB_KEYEMPTY">DB_KEYEMPTY</a>.</p> <p>If a created record is not at the end of the database, all records following the new record will be automatically renumbered upward by one. For example, the creation of a new record numbered 8 causes records numbered 8 and greater to be renumbered upward by one. If a cursor was positioned to record number 8 or greater before the insertion, it will be shifted upward one logical record, continuing to refer to the same record as it did before.</p> <p>For these reasons, concurrent access to a Recno database with the DB_RENUMBER flag specified may be largely meaningless, although it is supported.</p> <p>Calling DB->set_flags with the DB_RENUMBER flag affects the database, including all threads of control accessing the database.</p> <p>If the database already exists when <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/db_open.html">DB->open</a> is called, the DB_RENUMBER flag must be the same as the existing database or an error will be returned. </p></ul> <a name="12"><!--meow--></a> <b><a name="DB_SNAPSHOT">DB_SNAPSHOT</a></b><ul compact><li>This flag specifies that any specified <b>re_source</b> file be read in its entirety when <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/db_open.html">DB->open</a> is called.
