<p>
Creating transaction-protected applications using the
Berkeley DB library is quite easy. Applications first use
<a href="../api_reference/C/envopen.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->open()</a> to initialize the database environment.
Transaction-protected applications normally require all four
Berkeley DB subsystems, so the <a href="../api_reference/C/envopen.html#envopen_DB_INIT_MPOOL" class="olink">DB_INIT_MPOOL</a>,
<a href="../api_reference/C/envopen.html#envopen_DB_INIT_LOCK" class="olink">DB_INIT_LOCK</a>, <a href="../api_reference/C/envopen.html#envopen_DB_INIT_LOG" class="olink">DB_INIT_LOG</a>, and <a href="../api_reference/C/envopen.html#envopen_DB_INIT_TXN" class="olink">DB_INIT_TXN</a> flags should
be specified.
</p>
<p>
Once the application has called <a href="../api_reference/C/envopen.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->open()</a>, it opens its
databases within the environment. Once the databases are
opened, the application makes changes to the databases inside
of transactions. Each set of changes that entails a unit of
work should be surrounded by the appropriate <a href="../api_reference/C/txnbegin.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->txn_begin()</a>,
<a href="../api_reference/C/txncommit.html" class="olink">DB_TXN->commit()</a> and <a href="../api_reference/C/txnabort.html" class="olink">DB_TXN->abort()</a> calls. The Berkeley DB access
methods will make the appropriate calls into the Lock, Log and
Memory Pool subsystems in order to guarantee transaction
semantics. When the application is ready to exit, all
outstanding transactions should have been committed or
aborted.
</p>
<p>
Databases accessed by a transaction must not be closed
during the transaction. Once all outstanding transactions are
finished, all open Berkeley DB files should be closed. When
the Berkeley DB database files have been closed, the
environment should be closed by calling <a href="../api_reference/C/envclose.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->close()</a>.
</p>
<p>
The following code fragment creates the database
environment directory then opens the environment, running
recovery. Our <a href="../api_reference/C/env.html" class="olink">DB_ENV</a> database environment handle is declared to
be free-threaded using the <a href="../api_reference/C/dbopen.html#open_DB_THREAD" class="olink">DB_THREAD</a> flag, and so may be
used by any number of threads that we may subsequently create.
