<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
The DB library is a family of classes that provides a
modular programming interface to transactions and record-
oriented file access. The library includes support for
transactions, locking, logging and file page caching, as
well as various indexed access methods. Many of the
classes (e.g., the file page caching class) are useful
independent of the other DB classes, although some classes
are explicitly based on other classes (e.g., transactions
and logging). For a general description of the DB
package, see <B><A HREF="db_intro.html">db_intro(3)</A></B>.
The DbEnv class provides simple access to an underlying
data structure, whose elements can be examined or changed
using the set_ or get_ methods. The remainder of the
manual page sometimes refers to these accesses using the
underlying name, e.g., simply lorder instead of get_lorder
and set_lorder. The constructors set all elements of the
underlying structure to zero. The constructor with three
arguments has the effect of calling DbEnv.appinit
immediately to initialize the application with default
parameters. To delay the initialization, use the default
constructor. The various set_ methods can then be used to
initialize the DbEnv, and finally, a call to DbEnv.appinit
should be made to initialize DB.
Once the DB environment has been initialized by a call to
DbEnv.appinit, no set methods other than set_errpfx should
be called.
appinit
The appinit method provides a simple way to initialize and
configure the Db environment. It is not necessary that it
be called, but it provides a method of creating a
consistent environment for processes using one or more of
the features of Db.
The db_home and db_config arguments to appinit are
described in the section below entitled ``FILE NAMING''.
The flags argument specifies the subsystems that are
initialized and how the environment affects Db file
naming, among other things. The flags value is specified
by <B>or</B>'ing together one or more of the following values:
Db.DB_CREATE
Cause subsystems to create any underlying files, as
necessary. (See <B><A HREF="Db.j.html">Db(3)</A></B>, <B><A HREF="DbLockTab.j.html">DbLockTab(3)</A></B>, <B><A HREF="DbLog.j.html">DbLog(3)</A></B>,
<B><A HREF="DbMpool.j.html">DbMpool(3)</A></B> and <B><A HREF="DbTxnMgr.j.html">DbTxnMgr(3)</A></B> for more information.)
Db.DB_INIT_LOCK
Initialize the lock subsystem; see <B><A HREF="DbLockTab.j.html">DbLockTab(3)</A></B>.
This subsystem should be used when multiple processes
or threads are going to be reading and writing a Db
database, so that they do not interfere with each
other. If all threads are accessing the database(s)
read-only, then locking is unnecessary. When the
DB_INIT_LOCK flag is specified, it is usually
necessary to run the deadlock detector,
<B><A HREF="db_deadlock.html">db_deadlock(1)</A></B>, as well.
Db.DB_INIT_LOG
Initialize the log subsystem; see <B><A HREF="DbLog.j.html">DbLog(3)</A></B>. This
subsystem is used when recovery from application or
system failure is important.
Db.DB_INIT_MPOOL
Initialize the mpool subsystem; see <B><A HREF="DbMpool.j.html">DbMpool(3)</A></B>. This
subsystem is used whenever the application is using
the Db access methods for any purpose.
Db.DB_INIT_TXN
Initialize the transaction subsystem; see <B><A HREF="DbTxn.j.html">DbTxn(3)</A></B>.
This subsystem is used when atomicity of multiple
operations and recovery are important. The
DB_INIT_TXN flag implies the DB_INIT_LOG flag.
Db.DB_MPOOL_PRIVATE
Create a private memory pool (see <B><A HREF="DbMpool.j.html">DbMpool(3)</A></B> for
further information). Ignored unless DB_INIT_MPOOL
is also specified.
Db.DB_NOMMAP
Do not map any files within this environment (see
<B><A HREF="DbMpool.j.html">DbMpool(3)</A></B> for further information). Ignored unless
DB_INIT_MPOOL is also specified.
Db.DB_RECOVER
Run normal recovery on this environment before
opening it for normal use. If this flag is set, the
DB_CREATE flag must also be set since the regions
will be removed and recreated.
The DbEnv.appinit function returns successfully if
DB_RECOVER is specified and no log files exist, so it
is necessary to ensure all necessary log files are
present before running recovery. For further
information, consult the man page for <B><A HREF="db_archive.html">db_archive(1)</A></B>
and <B><A HREF="db_recover.html">db_recover(1)</A></B>.
Db.DB_RECOVER_FATAL
Run catastrophic recovery on this environment before
opening it for normal use. If this flag is set, the
DB_CREATE flag must also be set since the regions
will be removed and recreated.
The DbEnv.appinit function returns successfully if
DB_RECOVER is specified and no log files exist, so it
is necessary to ensure all necessary log files are
present before running recovery. For further
information, consult the man page for <B><A HREF="db_archive.html">db_archive(1)</A></B>
and <B><A HREF="db_recover.html">db_recover(1)</A></B>.
Db.DB_THREAD
Ensure that handles returned by the Db subsystems are
useable by multiple threads within a single process,
i.e., that the system is ``free-threaded''. (See
<B><A HREF="DbLockTab.j.html">DbLockTab(3)</A></B>, <B><A HREF="DbLog.j.html">DbLog(3)</A></B>, <B><A HREF="DbMpool.j.html">DbMpool(3)</A></B>, <B><A HREF="Db.j.html">Db.open(3)</A></B> and
<B><A HREF="DbTxn.j.html">DbTxn(3)</A></B> for more information.)
Threading is assumed in the Java API, so no special
flags are required, and DB functions will always
behave as if the DB_THREAD flag was specified.
Db.DB_TXN_NOSYNC
On transaction commit, do not synchronously flush the
log (see <B><A HREF="DbTxn.j.html">DbTxn(3)</A></B> for further information). Ignored
unless DB_INIT_TXN is also specified.
Db.DB_USE_ENVIRON
The Db process' environment may be permitted to
specify information to be used when naming files (see
the section entitled ``FILE NAMING'' below). As
permitting users to specify which files are used can
create security problems, environment information
will be used in file naming for all users only if the
DB_USE_ENVIRON flag is set.
Db.DB_USE_ENVIRON_ROOT
The Db process' environment may be permitted to
specify information to be used when naming files (see
the section entitled ``FILE NAMING'' below). As
permitting users to specify which files are used can
create security problems, if the DB_USE_ENVIRON_ROOT
flag is set, environment information will be used for
file naming only for users with a user-ID matching
that of the superuser (specifically, users for whom
the getuid system call returns the user-ID 0).
The Db environment is configured based on which set
methods have been used. It is expected that applications
will use a single DbEnv object as the argument to all of
the subsystems in the DB package. The fields of the DbEnv
object used by appinit are described below. As references
to the DbEnv object may be maintained by appinit, it is
necessary that the DbEnv object and memory it references
be valid until the object is destroyed. The dbenv
argument may not be null. If any of the fields of the
dbenv are set to 0, defaults appropriate for the system
are used where possible.
The following fields in the DbEnv object may be
initialized, using the appropriate set method, before
calling appinit:
DbErrcall db_errcall;
When an error occurs in the DB package, an errno
value is returned by the method. In some cases,
however, the errno value may be insufficient to
completely describe the cause of the error.
If db_errcall is not null, db_errcall.errcall() may
be called with additional error information. This
method takes two arguments. The prefix argument is
the current environment's db_errpfx field. The
buffer argument is a string with the additional
information.
This error logging facility should not be required
for normal operation, but may be useful in debugging
applications.
String db_errpfx;
A prefix to prepend to error messages. Because Db
does not copy the memory referenced by the db_errpfx
field, the application may modify the error message
prefix at any time.
java.io.OutputStream error_stream;
The error_stream field behaves similarly to the
db_errcall field, except that the error message is
written to the OutputStream represented by
error_stream.
If db_errpfx is not null, the message will be
preceded by the string referenced by db_errpfx, a
colon (``:'') and a space. The message will be
followed by a newline character.
int db_verbose;
Include informational and debugging messages as well
as error messages in the db_errcall and db_errfile
output.
Each of the open functions that appinit may call
(DbLockTab.open, DbLog.open, DbMpool.open and
DbTxnMgr.open) is called as follows, where the DB_CREATE
flag is optional:
XXX.open(null, Db.DB_CREATE, 0660, dbenv)
This call will cause each subsystem to construct pathnames
as described in the section on ``FILE NAMING''. The
subsystem has permission to read and write underlying
files as necessary, and optionally to create files. (All
created files will be created readable and writeable by
the owner and the group. The group ownership of created
files is based on the system and directory defaults, and
is not further specified by Db.)
In addition, the dbenv argument is passed to the open
functions of any subsystems initialized by appinit. For
this reason the fields of the DbEnv object relevant to the
subsystems being initialized must themselves be
initialized before appinit is called. See the manual page
for each subsystem for a list of these fields and their
uses.
The return value from each of these calls is placed in the
appropriate field of the DbEnv object:
DbLockTab lk_info;
The return value of the <B><A HREF="DbLockTab.j.html">DbLockTab.open(3)</A></B> call.
DbLog lg_info;
The return value of the <B><A HREF="DbLog.j.html">DbLog.open(3)</A></B> call.
DbMpool mp_info;
The return value of the <B><A HREF="DbMpool.j.html">DbMpool.open(3)</A></B> call.
DbTxnMgr tx_info;
The return value of the <B><A HREF="DbTxnMgr.j.html">DbTxnMgr.open(3)</A></B> call.
In general, these fields are not directly used by
applications; subsystems of Db that use these fields will
simply reference them using the DbEnv argument passed to
the subsystem.
For example, an application using the Db hash access
method functions to access a database will first call
Db.open passing it the DbEnv argument filled in by the
initial call to appinit. Then, all future calls to the
hash access method functions for that database will
automatically use the underlying shared memory buffer pool
that was specified by the mp_info field of that DbEnv
argument.
The single exception to this rule is the tx_info field,
which applications must explicitly specify to the
DbTxnMgr.begin, DbTxnMgr.checkpoint and DbTxnMgr.close
functions.
The error_model field of DbEnv allows the user to
configure the way errors are treated in DB. It can be
changed at any time (e.g., after the call to
DbEnv.appinit). The error model is described in
<B><A HREF="DbException.j.html">DbException(3)</A></B>.
</PRE>
<H2>FILE NAMING</H2><PRE>
The most important task of appinit is to structure file
naming within Db.
Each of the locking, logging, memory pool and transaction
subsystems of Db require shared memory regions, backed by
the filesystem. Further, cooperating applications (or
multiple invocations of the same application) must agree
on the location of the shared memory regions and other
files used by the Db subsystems, the log files used by the
logging subsystem, and, of course, the data files.
Although it is possible to specify full pathnames to all
Db functions, this is cumbersome and requires that
applications be recompiled when database files are moved.
The appinit method makes it possible to place database
files in a single directory, or in multiple directories,
grouped by their method within the database.
Applications are normally expected to specify a single
directory home for their database. This can be done
easily in the call to appinit by specifying a value for
the db_home argument. There are more complex
configurations where it may be desirable to override
db_home or provide supplementary path information.
The following describes the possible ways in which file
naming information may be specified to the Db library.
The specific circumstances and order in which these ways
are applied are described in a subsequent paragraph.
db_home
If the db_home argument to appinit is non-null, its
value may be used as the database home, and files
named relative to its path.
DB_HOME
If the DB_HOME environment variable is set when
appinit is called, its value may be used as the
database home, and files named relative to its path.
db_config
The db_config argument to appinit may be used to
specify an array of character strings of the format
``NAME VALUE'', that specify file name information
for the process' Db environment. The whitespace
delimiting the two parts of the entry may be one or
more &lt;space&gt; or &lt;tab&gt; characters. (Leading or
trailing &lt;space&gt; and &lt;tab&gt; characters are discarded.)
Each entry must specify both the NAME and the VALUE
of the pair. All entries with unrecognized NAME
values will be ignored. The db_config array must be
null terminated.
DB_CONFIG
The same information specified to the db_config
argument to appinit may be specified using a
configuration file. If a database home directory has
been specified (either by the application specifying
a non-null db_home argument to appinit, or by the
application setting the DB_USE_ENVIRON or
DB_USE_ENVIRON_ROOT flags and the DB_HOME environment
variable being set), any file named ``DB_CONFIG'' in
the database home directory will be read for lines of
the format ``NAME VALUE''. The whitespace delimiting
the two parts of the line may be one or more &lt;space&gt;
or &lt;tab&gt; characters. (Leading or trailing &lt;space&gt;
and &lt;tab&gt; characters are discarded.) All empty lines
or lines whose first non-whitespace character is a
hash character (``#'') will be ignored. Each line
must specify both the NAME and the VALUE of the pair.
All lines with unrecognized NAME values will be
ignored.
The following ``NAME VALUE'' pairs in the db_config
argument and the DB_CONFIG file are currently supported by
Db.
DB_DATA_DIR
The path of a directory to be used as the location of
the access method data files, e.g., paths specified
to the <B><A HREF="Db.j.html">Db.open(3)</A></B> method will be relative to this
path.
The DB_DATA_DIR paths are additive, and specifying
more than one will result in each specified directory
being searched for database data files. If multiple
paths are specified, created data files will always
be created in the <B>first</B> directory specified.
DB_LOG_DIR
The path of a directory to be used as the location of
logging files, e.g., files created by the <B><A HREF="DbLog.j.html">DbLog(3)</A></B>
subsystem will be relative to this directory. If
specified, this is the directory name that will be
passed to <B><A HREF="DbLog.j.html">DbLog.open(3)</A></B>.
DB_TMP_DIR
The path of a directory to be used as the location of
temporary files, e.g., files created to back in-
memory access method databases will be created
relative to this path. Note, these temporary files
can potentially be quite large, depending on the size
of the database.
If DB_TMP_DIR is not specified, the following
environment variables are checked in order:
``TMPDIR'', ``TEMP'', ``TMP'' and ``TempFolder''. If
one of them is set, temporary files are created
relative to the directory it specifies.
If DB_TMP_DIR is not specified and none of the above
environment variables are set, the first possible one
of the following directories is used: /var/tmp,
/usr/tmp, /temp, /tmp, C:/temp and C:/tmp.
The following describes the specific circumstances and
order in which the different ways of specifying file
naming information are applied. Specifically, Db file
name processing proceeds sequentially through the
following steps:
``/''
If any file name specified to any Db method begins
with a leading slash, that file name is used without
modification by Db.
DB_CONFIG
If a relevant configuration string (e.g.,
DB_DATA_DIR), is specified in the DB_CONFIG
configuration file, the VALUE from the ``NAME VALUE''
pair is prepended to the current file name. If the
resulting file name begins with a leading slash, the
file name is used without further modification by Db.
The DB_CONFIG configuration file is intended to
permit systems to customize file location for a
database independent of applications using that
database. For example, a database administrator can
move the database log and data files to a different
location without application recompilation.
db_config
If a relevant configuration string (e.g.,
DB_DATA_DIR), is specified in the db_config argument
and is not specified in the DB_CONFIG file, the VALUE
from the ``NAME VALUE'' pair is prepended to the
current file name. If the resulting file name begins
with a leading slash, the file name is used without
further modification by Db.
The db_config argument is intended to permit
applications to customize file location for a
database. For example, an application writer can
place data files and log files in different
directories, or instantiate a new log directory each
time the application runs.
DB_HOME
If the DB_HOME environment variable was set, (and the
application has set the appropriate DB_USE_ENVIRON or
DB_USE_ENVIRON_ROOT environment variable), its value
is prepended to the current file name. If the
resulting file name begins with a leading slash, the
file name is used without further modification by Db.
The DB_HOME environment variable is intended to
permit users and system administrators to override
application and installation defaults, e.g.,
env DB_HOME=/database/my_home application
Alternatively, application writers are encouraged to
support the <B>-h</B> option found in the supporting Db
utilities to let users specify a database home.
db_home
If the application specified a non-null db_home
argument to appinit (and the database home was not
already specified using the DB_HOME environment
variable) its value is prepended to the current file
name. If the resulting file name begins with a
leading slash, the file name is used without further
modification by Db.
(nothing)
Finally, all file names are interpreted relative to
the current working directory of the process.
The common model for a Db environment is one where only
the DB_HOME environment variable, or the db_home argument,
is specified. In this case, all data files will be
presumed to be relative to that directory, and all files
created by the Db subsystems will be created in that
directory.
The more complex model for a transaction environment might
be one where a database home is specified, using either
the DB_HOME environment variable or the db_home argument
to appinit, and then DB_DATA_DIR and DB_LOG_DIR are set to
the relative path names of directories underneath the home
directory using the db_config argument to appinit or the
DB_CONFIG file.

In addition, the appinit method may fail and throw a
<B><A HREF="DbException.j.html">DbException(3)</A></B> encapsulating an errno for the following
conditions:
[EINVAL]
An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.
The DB_THREAD flag was specified and spinlocks are
not implemented for this architecture.
The DB_RECOVER or DB_RECOVER_FATAL flag was
specified, and no log files were found.
The DB_HOME or TMPDIR environment variables were set
but empty.
An incorrectly formatted ``NAME VALUE'' entry or line
was found.
[ENOSPC]
HP-UX only: a previously created Db environment for
this process still exists.
The DbEnv.appexit method may fail and throw a
<B><A HREF="DbException.j.html">DbException(3)</A></B> for any of the errors specified for the

<H2>BUGS</H2><PRE>
Due to the constraints of the PA-RISC memory architecture,
HP-UX does not allow a process to map a file into its
address space multiple times. For this reason, each DB
environment may be opened only once by a process on HP-UX,
i.e., calls to appinit will fail if the specified Db
environment has been opened and not subsequently closed.
On Windows/95, files that are opened by multiple processes
do not share data correctly. To tell Berkeley DB to use
the paging file to share memory among processes, use the
DB_REGION_NAME flag of the db_value_set function.
Obviously, you do not need to do this if only a single
process will be accessing database files.
