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 by sequentially or logical record number. -The Recno format supports fixed- or variable-length records, accessed -sequentially or by logical record number, and optionally retrieved from -a flat text file. -<p>Storage and retrieval for the Berkeley DB access methods are based on key/data -pairs, see <a href="../api_java/dbt_class.html">Dbt</a> for more information. -<p>The Db.open interface opens the database represented by the -<b>file</b> and <b>database</b> arguments for both reading and writing. -The <b>file</b> argument is used as the name of a physical file on disk -that will be used to back the database. The <b>database</b> argument is -optional and allows applications to have multiple logical databases in a -single physical file. While no <b>database</b> argument needs to be -specified, it is an error to attempt to open a second database in a -<b>file</b> that was not initially created using a <b>database</b> name. -In-memory databases never intended to be preserved on disk may -be created by setting both the <b>file</b> and <b>database</b> arguments -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. -<p>The <b>type</b> argument is of type int -and must be set to one of Db.DB_BTREE, Db.DB_HASH, -Db.DB_QUEUE, Db.DB_RECNO or Db.DB_UNKNOWN, except -that databases of type Db.DB_QUEUE are restricted to one per -<b>file</b>. If <b>type</b> is Db.DB_UNKNOWN, the database must -already exist and Db.open will automatically determine its type. -The <a href="../api_java/db_get_type.html">Db.get_type</a> method may be used to determine the underlying type of -databases opened using Db.DB_UNKNOWN. -<p>The <b>flags</b> and <b>mode</b> arguments specify how files will be opened -and/or created if they do not already exist. -<p>The <b>flags</b> value must be set to 0 or by bitwise inclusively <b>OR</b>'ing together one or more -of the following values. -<p><dl compact> -<p><dt><a name="Db.DB_CREATE">Db.DB_CREATE</a><dd>Create any underlying files, as necessary.
