<h1 align=center>Removing elements from a database</h1>
|
|
<p>The simplest way to remove elements from a database is the <a href="../../api_c/db_del.html">DB->del</a>
|
|
interface.
|
|
<p>The <a href="../../api_c/db_del.html">DB->del</a> interface takes four of the same five arguments that
|
|
the <a href="../../api_c/db_get.html">DB->get</a> and <a href="../../api_c/db_put.html">DB->put</a> interfaces take. The difference
|
|
is that there is no need to specify a data item, as the delete operation
|
|
is only interested in the key that you want to remove.
|
|
<p><dl compact>
|
|
<p><dt>db<dd>The database handle returned by <a href="../../api_c/db_create.html">db_create</a>.
|
|
<p><dt>txnid<dd>A transaction ID.
|
|
In our simple case, we aren't expecting to recover the database after
|
|
application or system crash, so we aren't using transactions, and will
|
|
leave this argument unspecified.
|
|
<p><dt>key<dd>The key item for the key/data pair that we want to delete from the
|
|
database.
|
|
<p><dt>flags<dd>Optional flags modifying the underlying behavior of the <a href="../../api_c/db_del.html">DB->del</a>
|
|
interface. There are currently no available flags for this interface,
|
|
so the flags argument should always be set to 0.
|
|
</dl>
|
|
<p>Here's what the code to call <a href="../../api_c/db_del.html">DB->del</a> looks like:
|
|
<p><blockquote><pre>#include <sys/types.h>
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|
|
#include <db.h>
|
|
<p>
|
|
#define DATABASE "access.db"
|
|
<p>
|
|
int
|
|
main()
|
|
{
|
|
DB *dbp;
|
|
DBT key, data;
|
|
int ret;
|
|
<p>
|
|
if ((ret = db_create(&dbp, NULL, 0)) != 0) {
|
|
fprintf(stderr, "db_create: %s\n", db_strerror(ret));
|
|
exit (1);
|
|
}
|
|
if ((ret = dbp->open(
|
|
dbp, DATABASE, NULL, DB_BTREE, DB_CREATE, 0664)) != 0) {
|
|
dbp->err(dbp, ret, "%s", DATABASE);
|
|
goto err;
|
|
}
|
|
<p>
|
|
memset(&key, 0, sizeof(key));
|
|
memset(&data, 0, sizeof(data));
|
|
key.data = "fruit";
|
|
key.size = sizeof("fruit");
|
|
data.data = "apple";
|
|
data.size = sizeof("apple");
|
|
<p>
|
|
if ((ret = dbp->put(dbp, NULL, &key, &data, 0)) == 0)
|
|
printf("db: %s: key stored.\n", (char *)key.data);
|
|
else {
|
|
dbp->err(dbp, ret, "DB->put");
|
|
goto err;
|
|
}
|
|
<p>
|
|
if ((ret = dbp->get(dbp, NULL, &key, &data, 0)) == 0)
|
|
printf("db: %s: key retrieved: data was %s.\n",
|
|
(char *)key.data, (char *)data.data);
|
|
else {
|
|
dbp->err(dbp, ret, "DB->get");
|
|
goto err;
|
|
}
|
|
<p><b> if ((ret = dbp->del(dbp, NULL, &key, 0)) == 0)
|
|
printf("db: %s: key was deleted.\n", (char *)key.data);
|
|
else {
|
|
dbp->err(dbp, ret, "DB->del");
|
|
goto err;
|
|
}
|
|
</b></pre></blockquote>
|
|
<p>After the <a href="../../api_c/db_del.html">DB->del</a> call returns, the entry referenced by the key
|
|
fruit has been removed from the database.
