Db::get_type

#include <db_cxx.h>
int
Db::get_type(DBTYPE *type);
Description
The Db::get_type method
stores the type of the underlying access method (and file format) into
the memory referenced by type.
The returned value is one of DB_BTREE, DB_HASH,
DB_RECNO, or DB_QUEUE. This value may be used to
determine the type of the database after a return from Db::open
with the type argument set to DB_UNKNOWN.
The Db::get_type interface may be called only after the Db::open
interface has been called.
Errors
The Db::get_type method may fail and throw an exception or return a non-zero error for the following conditions:
- EINVAL
- An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.
Called before Db::open was called.
The Db::get_type method may fail and throw an exception or return a non-zero error for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system methods.
If a catastrophic error has occurred, the Db::get_type method may fail and either
return DB_RUNRECOVERY or throw an exception encapsulating
DB_RUNRECOVERY, in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls will fail
in the same way.
