`adb' specifies the abstract database
object.
`name' specifies the name of the database. If it

".tcb", the database will be a B+ tree database. If its suffix is
".tcf", the database will be a fixed-length database. If its suffix
is ".tct", the database will be a table database. Otherwise, this
function fails. Tuning parameters can trail the name, separated by
"#". Each parameter is composed of the name and the value, separated
by "=". On-memory hash database supports "bnum",
"capnum", and "capsiz". On-memory tree database supports
"capnum" and "capsiz". Hash database supports
"mode", "bnum", "apow", "fpow",
"opts", "rcnum", "xmsiz", and
"dfunit". B+ tree database supports "mode",
"lmemb", "nmemb", "bnum", "apow",
"fpow", "opts", "lcnum", "ncnum",
"xmsiz", and "dfunit". Fixed-length database supports
"mode", "width", and "limsiz". Table database

"fpow", "opts", "rcnum", "lcnum",
"ncnum", "xmsiz", "dfunit", and
"idx".

false.
The tuning parameter "capnum" specifies the
capacity number of records. "capsiz" specifies the capacity size of

"mode" can contain "w" of writer, "r" of reader,
"c" of creating, "t" of truncating, "e" of no
locking, and "f" of non-blocking lock. The default mode is relevant
to "wc". "opts" can contains "l" of large
option, "d" of Deflate option, "b" of BZIP2 option, and
"t" of TCBS option. "idx" specifies the column name of an
index and its type separated by ":". For example,
"casket.tch#bnum=1000000#opts=ld" means that the name of the
database file is "casket.tch", and the bucket number is 1000000, and
the options are large and Deflate.

region of the value of the corresponding record. `NULL' is returned if no
record corresponds.
Because an additional zero code is appended at the end of
the region of the return value, the return value can be treated as a character
string. Because the region of the return value is allocated with the `malloc'
call, it should be released with the `free' call when it is no longer in

object.
`sp' specifies the pointer to the variable into
which the size of the region of the return value is assigned.

string of the iterator of an abstract database object.

transaction so that only one transaction can be activated with a database
object at the same time. Thus, the serializable isolation level is assumed if
every database operation is performed in the transaction. All updated regions
are kept track of by write ahead logging while the transaction. If the
database is closed during transaction, the transaction is aborted
implicitly.

corresponding records one after the other. "getpart" is to retrieve
the partial value of a record. It receives a key, the offset of the region,
and the length of the region.
`args' specifies a list object containing
arguments.
If successful, the return value is a list object of the
result. `NULL' is returned on failure.
Because the object of the return value is created with
the function `tclistnew', it should be deleted with the function `tclistdel'
when it is no longer in use.
