Class Environment

    java.lang.Object
      com.sleepycat.db.Environment

    public class Environment

extends Object

A database environment. Environments include support for some or all of caching, locking, logging and transactions.

To open an existing environment with default attributes the application may use a default environment configuration object or null:

>         // Open an environment handle with default attributes.
>         Environment env = new Environment(home, new EnvironmentConfig());

or

>         Environment env = new Environment(home, null);

Note that many Environment objects may access a single environment.

To create an environment or customize attributes, the application should customize the configuration class. For example:

>         EnvironmentConfig envConfig = new EnvironmentConfig();
>         envConfig.setTransactional(true);
>         envConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
>         envConfig.setCacheSize(1000000);

>         Environment newlyCreatedEnv = new Environment(home, envConfig);

Environment handles are free-threaded unless `EnvironmentConfig.setThreaded` is called to disable this before the environment is opened.

An environment handle is an Environment instance. More than one Environment instance may be created for the same physical directory, which is the same as saying that more than one Environment handle may be open at one time for a given environment.

The Environment handle should not be closed while any other handle remains open that is using it as a reference (for example, `Database` or `Transaction`. Once `Environment.close` is called, this object may not be accessed again, regardless of whether or not it throws an exception.

Constructor Detail

### Environment

    public Environment(File home,
                       EnvironmentConfig config)
                throws DatabaseException,
                       FileNotFoundException

  Create a database environment handle.

  Parameters:
    `home` - The database environment's home directory. The environment variable `DB_HOME` may be used as the path of the database home. For more information on `envHome` and filename resolution in general, see File Naming.

    `config` - The database environment attributes. If null, default attributes are used.

  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if an invalid parameter was specified.

    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.
    `FileNotFoundException`

Method Detail

### close

    public void close()
               throws DatabaseException

  Close the database environment, freeing any allocated resources and closing any underlying subsystems.

  The `Environment` handle should not be closed while any other handle that refers to it is not yet closed; for example, database environment handles must not be closed while database handles remain open, or transactions in the environment have not yet been committed or aborted. Specifically, this includes `Database`, `Cursor`, `Transaction`, and `LogCursor` handles.

  Where the environment was initialized with a locking subsystem, closing the environment does not release any locks still held by the closing process, providing functionality for long-lived locks.

  Where the environment was initialized with a transaction subsystem, closing the environment aborts any unresolved transactions. Applications should not depend on this behavior for transactions involving databases; all such transactions should be explicitly resolved. The problem with depending on this semantic is that aborting an unresolved transaction involving database operations requires a database handle. Because the database handles should have been closed before closing the environment, it will not be possible to abort the transaction, and recovery will have to be run on the database environment before further operations are done.

  Where log cursors were created, closing the environment does not imply closing those cursors.

  In multithreaded applications, only a single thread may call this method.

  After this method has been called, regardless of its return, the `Environment` handle may not be accessed again.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### remove

    public static void remove(File home,
                              boolean force,
                              EnvironmentConfig config)
                       throws DatabaseException,
                              FileNotFoundException

  Destroy a database environment.

  If the environment is not in use, the environment regions, including any backing files, are removed. Any log or database files and the environment directory itself are not removed.

  If there are processes currently using the database environment, this method will fail without further action (unless the force argument is true, in which case the environment will be removed, regardless of any processes still using it).

  The result of attempting to forcibly destroy the environment when it is in use is unspecified. Processes using an environment often maintain open file descriptors for shared regions within it. On UNIX systems, the environment removal will usually succeed, and processes that have already joined the region will continue to run in that region without change. However, processes attempting to join the environment will either fail or create new regions. On other systems in which the unlink system call will fail if any process has an open file descriptor for the file (for example Windows/NT), the region removal will fail.

  Calling this method should not be necessary for most applications because the environment is cleaned up as part of normal database recovery procedures. However, applications may want to call this method as part of application shut down to free up system resources. For example, if system shared memory was used to back the database environment, it may be useful to call this method in order to release system shared memory segments that have been allocated. Or, on architectures in which mutexes require allocation of underlying system resources, it may be useful to call this method in order to release those resources. Alternatively, if recovery is not required because no database state is maintained across failures, and no system resources need to be released, it is possible to clean up an environment by simply removing all the Berkeley DB files in the database environment's directories.

  In multithreaded applications, only a single thread may call this method.

  After this method has been called, regardless of its return, the `Environment` handle may not be accessed again.

  Parameters:
    `home` - The database environment to be removed. On Windows platforms, this argument will be interpreted as a UTF-8 string, which is equivalent to ASCII for Latin characters.

    `force` - The environment is removed, regardless of any processes that may still using it, and no locks are acquired during this process. (Generally, the force argument is specified only when applications were unable to shut down cleanly, and there is a risk that an application may have died holding a Berkeley DB mutex or lock.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.
    `FileNotFoundException`

### setConfig

    public void setConfig(EnvironmentConfig config)
                   throws DatabaseException

  Change the settings in an existing environment handle.

  Parameters:
    `config` - The database environment attributes. If null, default attributes are used.

  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if an invalid parameter was specified.

    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### getConfig

    public EnvironmentConfig getConfig()
                                throws DatabaseException

  Return this object's configuration.

  Returns:
    This object's configuration.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### openDatabase

    public Database openDatabase(Transaction txn,
                                 String fileName,
                                 String databaseName,
                                 DatabaseConfig config)
                          throws DatabaseException,
                                 FileNotFoundException

  Open a database.

  The database is represented by the file and database parameters.

  The currently supported database file formats (or access methods) are Btree, Hash, Queue, and Recno. The Btree format is a representation of a sorted, balanced tree structure. The Hash format is an extensible, dynamic hashing scheme. The Queue format supports fast access to fixed-length records accessed sequentially or by logical record number. The Recno format supports fixed- or variable-length records, accessed sequentially or by logical record number, and optionally backed by a flat text file.

  Storage and retrieval are based on key/data pairs; see `DatabaseEntry` for more information.

  Opening a database is a relatively expensive operation, and maintaining a set of open databases will normally be preferable to repeatedly opening and closing the database for each new query.

  In-memory databases never intended to be preserved on disk may be created by setting both the fileName and databaseName parameters to null. Note that in-memory databases can only ever be shared by sharing the single database handle that created them, in circumstances where doing so is safe. The environment variable `TMPDIR` may be used as a directory in which to create temporary backing files.

  Parameters:
    `txn` - For a transactional database, an explicit transaction may be specified, or null may be specified to use auto-commit. For a non-transactional database, null must be specified. Note that transactionally protected operations on a Database handle require that the Database handle itself be transactionally protected during its open, either with a non-null transaction handle, or by calling `DatabaseConfig.setTransactional` on the configuration object.

    `fileName` - The name of an underlying file that will be used to back the database. On Windows platforms, this argument will be interpreted as a UTF-8 string, which is equivalent to ASCII for Latin characters.

    `databaseName` - An optional parameter that allows applications to have multiple databases in a single file. Although no databaseName parameter needs to be specified, it is an error to attempt to open a second database in a physical file that was not initially created using a databaseName parameter. Further, the databaseName parameter is not supported by the Queue format.

    `config` - The database open attributes. If null, default attributes are used.
  Throws:
    `DatabaseException`
    `FileNotFoundException`

### openSecondaryDatabase

    public SecondaryDatabase openSecondaryDatabase(Transaction txn,
                                                   String fileName,
                                                   String databaseName,
                                                   Database primaryDatabase,
                                                   SecondaryConfig config)
                                            throws DatabaseException,
                                                   FileNotFoundException

  Open a database.

  The database is represented by the file and database parameters.

  The currently supported database file formats (or access methods) are Btree, Hash, Queue, and Recno. The Btree format is a representation of a sorted, balanced tree structure. The Hash format is an extensible, dynamic hashing scheme. The Queue format supports fast access to fixed-length records accessed sequentially or by logical record number. The Recno format supports fixed- or variable-length records, accessed sequentially or by logical record number, and optionally backed by a flat text file.

  Storage and retrieval are based on key/data pairs; see `DatabaseEntry` for more information.

  Opening a database is a relatively expensive operation, and maintaining a set of open databases will normally be preferable to repeatedly opening and closing the database for each new query.

  In-memory databases never intended to be preserved on disk may be created by setting both the fileName and databaseName parameters to null. Note that in-memory databases can only ever be shared by sharing the single database handle that created them, in circumstances where doing so is safe. The environment variable `TMPDIR` may be used as a directory in which to create temporary backing files.

  Parameters:
    `txn` - For a transactional database, an explicit transaction may be specified, or null may be specified to use auto-commit. For a non-transactional database, null must be specified. Note that transactionally protected operations on a Database handle require that the Database handle itself be transactionally protected during its open, either with a non-null transaction handle, or by calling `DatabaseConfig.setTransactional` on the configuration object.

    `fileName` - The name of an underlying file that will be used to back the database. On Windows platforms, this argument will be interpreted as a UTF-8 string, which is equivalent to ASCII for Latin characters.

    `databaseName` - An optional parameter that allows applications to have multiple databases in a single file. Although no databaseName parameter needs to be specified, it is an error to attempt to open a second database in a physical file that was not initially created using a databaseName parameter. Further, the databaseName parameter is not supported by the Queue format.

    `primaryDatabase` - a database handle for the primary database that is to be indexed.

    `config` - The secondary database open attributes. If null, default attributes are used.
  Throws:
    `DatabaseException`
    `FileNotFoundException`

### removeDatabase

    public void removeDatabase(Transaction txn,
                               String fileName,
                               String databaseName)
                        throws DatabaseException,
                               FileNotFoundException

  Remove a database.

  If no database is specified, the underlying file specified is removed.

  Applications should never remove databases with open `Database` handles, or in the case of removing a file, when any database in the file has an open handle. For example, some architectures do not permit the removal of files with open system handles. On these architectures, attempts to remove databases currently in use by any thread of control in the system may fail.

  The environment variable DB_HOME may be used as the path of the database environment home.

  This method is affected by any database directory specified with `EnvironmentConfig.addDataDir`, or by setting the "set_data_dir" string in the database environment's DB_CONFIG file.

  The `Database` handle may not be accessed again after this method is called, regardless of this method's success or failure.

  Parameters:
    `txn` - For a transactional database, an explicit transaction may be specified, or null may be specified to use auto-commit. For a non-transactional database, null must be specified.

    `fileName` - The physical file which contains the database to be removed. On Windows platforms, this argument will be interpreted as a UTF-8 string, which is equivalent to ASCII for Latin characters.

    `databaseName` - The database to be removed.

  Throws:
    `DeadlockException` - if the operation was selected to resolve a deadlock.

    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.
    `FileNotFoundException`

### renameDatabase

    public void renameDatabase(Transaction txn,
                               String fileName,
                               String databaseName,
                               String newName)
                        throws DatabaseException,
                               FileNotFoundException

  Rename a database.

  If no database name is specified, the underlying file specified is renamed, incidentally renaming all of the databases it contains.

  Applications should never rename databases that are currently in use. If an underlying file is being renamed and logging is currently enabled in the database environment, no database in the file may be open when this method is called. In particular, some architectures do not permit renaming files with open handles. On these architectures, attempts to rename databases that are currently in use by any thread of control in the system may fail.

  The environment variable DB_HOME may be used as the path of the database environment home.

  This method is affected by any database directory specified with `EnvironmentConfig.addDataDir`, or by setting the "set_data_dir" string in the database environment's DB_CONFIG file.

  The `Database` handle may not be accessed again after this method is called, regardless of this method's success or failure.

  Parameters:
    `txn` - For a transactional database, an explicit transaction may be specified, or null may be specified to use auto-commit. For a non-transactional database, null must be specified.

    `fileName` - The physical file which contains the database to be renamed. On Windows platforms, this argument will be interpreted as a UTF-8 string, which is equivalent to ASCII for Latin characters.

    `databaseName` - The database to be renamed.

    `newName` - The new name of the database or file.

  Throws:
    `DeadlockException` - if the operation was selected to resolve a deadlock.

    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.
    `FileNotFoundException`

### getHome

    public File getHome()
                 throws DatabaseException

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException`

### trickleCacheWrite

    public int trickleCacheWrite(int percent)
                          throws DatabaseException

  Ensure that a specified percent of the pages in the shared memory pool are clean, by writing dirty pages to their backing files.

  The purpose of this method is to enable a memory pool manager to ensure that a page is always available for reading in new information without having to wait for a write.

  Parameters:
    `percent` - The percent of the pages in the cache that should be clean.

  Returns:
    The number of pages that were written to reach the specified percentage.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### detectDeadlocks

    public int detectDeadlocks(LockDetectMode mode)
                        throws DatabaseException

  Run one iteration of the deadlock detector.

  The deadlock detector traverses the lock table and marks one of the participating lock requesters for rejection in each deadlock it finds.

  Parameters:
    `mode` - Which lock request(s) to reject.

  Returns:
    The number of lock requests that were rejected.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### getLock

    public Lock getLock(int locker,
                        boolean noWait,
                        DatabaseEntry object,
                        LockRequestMode mode)
                 throws DatabaseException

  Acquire a lock from the lock table.

  Parameters:
    `locker` - An unsigned 32-bit integer quantity representing the entity requesting the lock.

    `mode` - The lock mode.

    `noWait` - If a lock cannot be granted because the requested lock conflicts with an existing lock, throw a `LockNotGrantedException` immediately instead of waiting for the lock to become available.

    `object` - An untyped byte string that specifies the object to be locked. Applications using the locking subsystem directly while also doing locking via the Berkeley DB access methods must take care not to inadvertently lock objects that happen to be equal to the unique file IDs used to lock files.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### putLock

    public void putLock(Lock lock)
                 throws DatabaseException

  Release a lock.

  Parameters:
    `lock` - The lock to be released.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### createLockerID

    public int createLockerID()
                       throws DatabaseException

  Allocate a locker ID.

  The locker ID is guaranteed to be unique for the database environment.

  Call `Environment.freeLockerID` to return the locker ID to the environment when it is no longer needed.

  Returns:
    A locker ID.
  Throws:
    `DatabaseException`

### freeLockerID

    public void freeLockerID(int id)
                      throws DatabaseException

  Free a locker ID.

  Parameters:
    `id` - The locker id to be freed.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### lockVector

    public void lockVector(int locker,
                           boolean noWait,
                           LockRequest[] list)
                    throws DatabaseException

  Atomically obtain and release one or more locks from the lock table. This method is intended to support acquisition or trading of multiple locks under one lock table semaphore, as is needed for lock coupling or in multigranularity locking for lock escalation.

  If any of the requested locks cannot be acquired, or any of the locks to be released cannot be released, the operations before the failing operation are guaranteed to have completed successfully, and the method throws an exception.

  Parameters:
    `noWait` - If a lock cannot be granted because the requested lock conflicts with an existing lock, throw a `LockNotGrantedException` immediately instead of waiting for the lock to become available. The index of the request that was not granted will be returned by `LockNotGrantedException.getIndex`.

    `locker` - An unsigned 32-bit integer quantity representing the entity requesting the lock.

    `list` - An array of `LockRequest` objects, listing the requested lock operations.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### openLogCursor

    public LogCursor openLogCursor()
                            throws DatabaseException

  Return a log cursor.

  Returns:
    A log cursor.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### getLogFileName

    public String getLogFileName(LogSequenceNumber lsn)
                          throws DatabaseException

  Return the name of the log file that contains the log record specified by a LogSequenceNumber object.

  This mapping of LogSequenceNumber objects to files is needed for database administration. For example, a transaction manager typically records the earliest LogSequenceNumber object needed for restart, and the database administrator may want to archive log files to tape when they contain only log records before the earliest one needed for restart.

  Parameters:
    `lsn` - The LogSequenceNumber object for which a filename is wanted.

  Returns:
    The name of the log file that contains the log record specified by a LogSequenceNumber object.

  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if an invalid parameter was specified.

    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### startReplication

    public void startReplication(DatabaseEntry cdata,
                                 boolean master)
                          throws DatabaseException

  Configure the database environment as a client or master in a group of replicated database environments. Replication master environments are the only database environments where replicated databases may be modified. Replication client environments are read-only as long as they are clients. Replication client environments may be upgraded to be replication master environments in the case that the current master fails or there is no master present.

  The enclosing database environment must already have been configured to send replication messages by calling `EnvironmentConfig.setReplicationTransport`.

  Parameters:
    `cdata` - An opaque data item that is sent over the communication infrastructure when the client or master comes online. If no such information is useful, cdata should be null.

    `master` - Configure the environment as a replication master. If false, the environment will be configured as as a replication client.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### electReplicationMaster

    public void electReplicationMaster(int nsites,
                                       int nvotes)
                                throws DatabaseException

  Hold an election for the master of a replication group.

  If the election is successful, the new master's ID may be the ID of the previous master, or the ID of the current environment. The application is responsible for adjusting its usage of the other environments in the replication group, including directing all database updates to the newly selected master, in accordance with the results of this election.

  The thread of control that calls this method must not be the thread of control that processes incoming messages; processing the incoming messages is necessary to successfully complete an election.

  Parameters:
    `nsites` - The number of environments that the application believes are in the replication group. This number is used by Berkeley DB to avoid having two masters active simultaneously, even in the case of a network partition. During an election, a new master cannot be elected unless more than half of nsites agree on the new master. Thus, in the face of a network partition, the side of the partition with more than half the environments will elect a new master and continue, while the environments communicating with fewer than half the other environments will fail to find a new master.

    `nvotes` - The number of votes required by the application to successfully elect a new master. It must be a positive integer, no greater than nsites, or 0 if the election should use a simple majority of the nsites value as the requirement. A warning is given if half or fewer votes are required to win an election as that can potentially lead to multiple masters in the face of a network partition.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### flushReplication

    public void flushReplication()
                          throws DatabaseException

  Internal method: re-push the last log record to all clients, in case they've lost messages and don't know it.

  This method may not be called before the database environment is opened.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### processReplicationMessage

    public ReplicationStatus processReplicationMessage(DatabaseEntry control,
                                                       DatabaseEntry rec,
                                                       int envid)
                                                throws DatabaseException

  Process an incoming replication message sent by a member of the replication group to the local database environment.

  For implementation reasons, all incoming replication messages must be processed using the same `Environment` handle. It is not required that a single thread of control process all messages, only that all threads of control processing messages use the same handle.

  Parameters:
    `control` - A copy of the control parameter specified by Berkeley DB on the sending environment.

    `envid` - The local identifier that corresponds to the environment that sent the message to be processed.

    `rec` - A copy of the rec parameter specified by Berkeley DB on the sending environment.

  Returns:
    A `ReplicationStatus` object.
  Throws:
    `DatabaseException`

### setReplicationConfig

    public void setReplicationConfig(ReplicationConfig config,
                                     boolean onoff)
                              throws DatabaseException

  Configure the replication subsystem.

  The database environment's replication subsystem may also be set using the environment's DB_CONFIG file. The syntax of the entry in that file is a single line with the string "rep_set_config", one or more whitespace characters, and the method configuration parameter as a string; for example, "rep_set_config REP_CONF_NOWAIT". Because the DB_CONFIG file is read when the database environment is opened, it will silently overrule configuration done before that time.

  This method configures a database environment, including all threads of control accessing the database environment, not only the operations performed using a specified `Environment` handle.

  This method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

  Parameters:
    `config` - A replication feature to be configured.
    `onoff` - If true, the feature is enabled, otherwise it is disabled.
  Throws:
    `DatabaseException`

### getReplicationConfig

    public boolean getReplicationConfig(ReplicationConfig config)
                                 throws DatabaseException

  Get the configuration of the replication subsystem. This method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

  Returns:
    Whether the specified feature is enabled or disabled.
  Throws:
    `DatabaseException`

### setReplicationTimeout

    public void setReplicationTimeout(ReplicationTimeoutType type,
                                      int replicationTimeout)
                               throws DatabaseException

  Sets the timeout applied to the specified timeout type. This method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

  Parameters:
    `type` - The type of timeout to set.

    `replicationTimeout` - The time in microseconds of the desired timeout.
  Throws:
    `DatabaseException`

### getReplicationTimeout

    public int getReplicationTimeout(ReplicationTimeoutType type)
                              throws DatabaseException

  Gets the timeout applied to the specified timeout type.

  Parameters:
    `type` - The type of timeout to retrieve.

  Returns:
    The timeout applied to the specified timout type, in microseconds.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### syncReplication

    public void syncReplication()
                         throws DatabaseException

  Forces synchronization to begin for this client. This method is the other half of setting `ReplicationConfig.DELAYCLIENT` with `setReplicationConfig(com.sleepycat.db.ReplicationConfig, boolean)`.

  When a new master is elected and the application has configured delayed synchronization, the application must choose when to perform synchronization by using this method. Otherwise the client will remain unsynchronized and will ignore all new incoming log messages.

  This method may not be called before the database environment is opened.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### replicationManagerStart

    public void replicationManagerStart(int nthreads,
                                        ReplicationManagerStartPolicy policy)
                                 throws DatabaseException

  Starts the replication manager.

  The replication manager is implemented inside the Berkeley DB library, it is designed to manage a replication group. This includes network transport, all replication message processing and acknowledgment, and group elections.

  For more information on building replication manager applications, please see the "Replication Manager Getting Started Guide" included in the Berkeley DB documentation.

  This method may not be called before the database environment is opened.

  Parameters:
    `nthreads` - Specify the number of threads of control created and dedicated to processing replication messages. In addition to these message processing threads, the replication manager creates and manages a few of its own threads of control.

    `policy` - The policy defines the startup characteristics of a replication group. See `ReplicationManagerStartPolicy` for more information.
  Throws:
    `DatabaseException`

### getReplicationManagerSiteList

    public ReplicationManagerSiteInfo[] getReplicationManagerSiteList()
                                                               throws DatabaseException

  Return an array of all sites known to the replication manager.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException`

### beginCDSGroup

    public Transaction beginCDSGroup()
                              throws DatabaseException

  Allocate a locker ID in an environment configured for Berkeley DB Concurrent Data Store applications. Returns a `Transaction` object that uniquely identifies the locker ID. Calling the `Transaction.commit()` method will discard the allocated locker ID.

  See Berkeley DB Concurrent Data Store applications for more information about when this is required.

  Returns:
    A transaction handle that wraps a CDS locker ID.
  Throws:
    `DatabaseException`

### beginTransaction

    public Transaction beginTransaction(Transaction parent,
                                        TransactionConfig config)
                                 throws DatabaseException

  Create a new transaction in the database environment.

  Transactions may only span threads if they do so serially; that is, each transaction must be active in only a single thread of control at a time.

  This restriction holds for parents of nested transactions as well; no two children may be concurrently active in more than one thread of control at any one time.

  Cursors may not span transactions; that is, each cursor must be opened and closed within a single transaction.

  A parent transaction may not issue any Berkeley DB operations -- except for `Environment.beginTransaction`, `Transaction.abort` and `Transaction.commit` -- while it has active child transactions (child transactions that have not yet been committed or aborted).

  Parameters:
    `parent` - If the parent parameter is non-null, the new transaction will be a nested transaction, with the transaction indicated by parent as its parent. Transactions may be nested to any level. In the presence of distributed transactions and two-phase commit, only the parental transaction, that is a transaction without a parent specified, should be passed as an parameter to `Transaction.prepare`.

    `config` - The transaction attributes. If null, default attributes are used.

  Returns:
    The newly created transaction's handle.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### checkpoint

    public void checkpoint(CheckpointConfig config)
                    throws DatabaseException

  Synchronously checkpoint the database environment.

  Parameters:
    `config` - The checkpoint attributes. If null, default attributes are used.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### logFlush

    public void logFlush(LogSequenceNumber lsn)
                  throws DatabaseException

  Flush log records to stable storage.

  Parameters:
    `lsn` - All log records with LogSequenceNumber values less than or equal to the lsn parameter are written to stable storage. If lsn is null, all records in the log are flushed.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### logPut

    public LogSequenceNumber logPut(DatabaseEntry data,
                                    boolean flush)
                             throws DatabaseException

  Append a record to the log.

  Parameters:
    `data` - The record to append to the log.

    The caller is responsible for providing any necessary structure to data. (For example, in a write-ahead logging protocol, the application must understand what part of data is an operation code, what part is redo information, and what part is undo information. In addition, most transaction managers will store in data the LogSequenceNumber of the previous log record for the same transaction, to support chaining back through the transaction's log records during undo.)

    `flush` - The log is forced to disk after this record is written, guaranteeing that all records with LogSequenceNumber values less than or equal to the one being "put" are on disk before this method returns.

  Returns:
    The LogSequenceNumber of the put record.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### logPrint

    public void logPrint(Transaction txn,
                         String message)
                  throws DatabaseException

  Append an informational message to the Berkeley DB database environment log files.

  This method allows applications to include information in the database environment log files, for later review using the db_printlog utility. This method is intended for debugging and performance tuning.

  Parameters:
    `txn` - If the logged message refers to an application-specified transaction, the `txn` parameter is a transaction handle, otherwise `null`.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### getArchiveLogFiles

    public File[] getArchiveLogFiles(boolean includeInUse)
                              throws DatabaseException

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException`

### getArchiveDatabases

    public File[] getArchiveDatabases()
                               throws DatabaseException

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException`

### removeOldLogFiles

    public void removeOldLogFiles()
                           throws DatabaseException

  Remove log files that are no longer needed.

  Automatic log file removal is likely to make catastrophic recovery impossible.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### recover

    public PreparedTransaction[] recover(int count,
                                         boolean continued)
                                  throws DatabaseException

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException`

### resetFileID

    public void resetFileID(String filename,
                            boolean encrypted)
                     throws DatabaseException

  Allows database files to be copied, and then the copy used in the same database environment as the original.

  All databases contain an ID string used to identify the database in the database environment cache. If a physical database file is copied, and used in the same environment as another file with the same ID strings, corruption can occur. This method creates new ID strings for all of the databases in the physical file.

  This method modifies the physical file, in-place. Applications should not reset IDs in files that are currently in use.

  This method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

  Parameters:
    `filename` - The name of the physical file in which the LSNs are to be cleared.
    `encrypted` - Whether the file contains encrypted databases.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### resetLogSequenceNumber

    public void resetLogSequenceNumber(String filename,
                                       boolean encrypted)
                                throws DatabaseException

  Allows database files to be moved from one transactional database environment to another.

  Database pages in transactional database environments contain references to the environment's log files (that is, log sequence numbers, or LSNs). Copying or moving a database file from one database environment to another, and then modifying it, can result in data corruption if the LSNs are not first cleared.

  Note that LSNs should be reset before moving or copying the database file into a new database environment, rather than moving or copying the database file and then resetting the LSNs. Berkeley DB has consistency checks that may be triggered if an application calls this method on a database in a new environment when the database LSNs still reflect the old environment.

  This method modifies the physical file, in-place. Applications should not reset LSNs in files that are currently in use.

  This method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

  Parameters:
    `filename` - The name of the physical file in which the LSNs are to be cleared.
    `encrypted` - Whether the file contains encrypted databases.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException` - if a failure occurs.

### panic

    public void panic(boolean onoff)
               throws DatabaseException

  Set the panic state for the database environment. Database environments in a panic state normally refuse all attempts to call library functions, throwing a `RunRecoveryException`.

  This method configures a database environment, including all threads of control accessing the database environment, not only the operations performed using a specified `Environment` handle.

  This method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

  Parameters:
    `onoff` - If true, set the panic state for the database environment.
  Throws:
    `DatabaseException`

### getVersionString

    public static String getVersionString()

  Return the release version information, suitable for display.

  This method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

  Returns:
    The release version information, suitable for display.

### getVersionMajor

    public static int getVersionMajor()

  Return the release major number.

  This method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

  Returns:
    The release major number.

### syncCache

    public void syncCache(LogSequenceNumber logSequenceNumber)
                   throws DatabaseException

  Ensure that all modified pages in the cache are flushed to their backing files.

  Pages in the cache that cannot be immediately written back to disk (for example pages that are currently in use by another thread of control) are waited for and written to disk as soon as it is possible to do so.

  Parameters:
    `logSequenceNumber` - The purpose of the logSequenceNumber parameter is to enable a transaction manager to ensure, as part of a checkpoint, that all pages modified by a certain time have been written to disk.

    All modified pages with a log sequence number less than the logSequenceNumber parameter are written to disk. If logSequenceNumber is null, all modified pages in the cache are written to disk.

  Throws:
    `DatabaseException`

### getVersionMinor

    public static int getVersionMinor()

  Return the release minor number.

  This method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

  Returns:
    The release minor number.

### getVersionPatch

    public static int getVersionPatch()

  Return the release patch number.

  This method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

  Returns:
    The release patch number.
