Berkeley DB Reference Guide: Access Methods
Database cursors
The DB->cursor function is the standard function for opening a cursor into a database.
Once a database cursor has been opened there are four additional standard access method operations that can be performed. Each of these operations is performed using a function that is referenced from the returned cursor handle. The four operations are as follows:
- DBcursor->c_get
- Retrieve a record
- DBcursor->c_put
- Store a record
- DBcursor->c_del
- Delete a record
- DBcursor->c_close
- Close the cursor
