Applications must now pass the DB_NOSYNC flag to the methods
- DB->remove
,
DB->rename
,
DB_ENV->dbremove
, and
DB_ENV->dbrename
, to avoid a
multi-database file to be flushed from cache. This flag is
applicable if you have created the database handle in a
non-transactional environment.
By default, all non-transactional database remove/rename operations cause data to be synced to disk. This can now be overridden using the DB_NOSYNC flag so that files can be accessed outside the environment after the database handles are closed.
