The DBcursor->c_put method stores records into the database using a cursor. In general, DBcursor->c_put takes a key and inserts the associated data into the database, at a location controlled by a specified flag.
There are several flags that you can set to customize storage:
In all cases, the cursor is repositioned by a DBcursor->c_put operation to point to the newly inserted key/data pair in the database.
The following is a code example showing a cursor storing two data items in a database that supports duplicate data items:
int store(dbp) DB *dbp; { DBC *dbcp; DBT key, data; int ret;/* * The DB handle for a Btree database supporting duplicate data * items is the argument; acquire a cursor for the database. */ if ((ret = dbp->cursor(dbp, NULL, &dbcp, 0)) != 0) { dbp->err(dbp, ret, "DB->cursor"); goto err; }
/* Initialize the key. */ memset(&key, 0, sizeof(key)); key.data = "new key"; key.size = strlen(key.data) + 1;
/* Initialize the data to be the first of two duplicate records. */ memset(&data, 0, sizeof(data)); data.data = "new key's data: entry #1"; data.size = strlen(data.data) + 1;
/* Store the first of the two duplicate records. */ if ((ret = dbcp->c_put(dbcp, &key, &data, DB_KEYFIRST)) != 0) dbp->err(dbp, ret, "DB->cursor");
/* Initialize the data to be the second of two duplicate records. */ data.data = "new key's data: entry #2"; data.size = strlen(data.data) + 1;
/* * Store the second of the two duplicate records. No duplicate * record sort function has been specified, so we explicitly * store the record as the last of the duplicate set. */ if ((ret = dbcp->c_put(dbcp, &key, &data, DB_KEYLAST)) != 0) dbp->err(dbp, ret, "DB->cursor");
err: if ((ret = dbcp->c_close(dbcp)) != 0) dbp->err(dbp, ret, "DBcursor->close");
return (0); }
