Support is currently broken with Java-&openjdk-build;.x. Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directory db_archive, db_checkpoint, db_deadlock, db_dump, db_hotbackup, db_load, db_log_verify, db_printlog, db_recover, db_replicate, db_stat, db_tuner, db_upgrade, and db_verify libdb.so, libdb_cxx.so, and libdb_tcl.so /usr/share/doc/db-&db-version; Short Descriptions db_archive prints the pathnames of log files that are no longer in use. db_archive db_checkpoint is a daemon process used to monitor and checkpoint database logs. db_checkpoint db_deadlock is used to abort lock requests when deadlocks are detected. db_deadlock db_dump converts database files to a flat file format readable by db_load. db_dump db_hotbackup creates "hot backup" or "hot failover" snapshots of Berkeley DB databases. db_hotbackup db_load is used to create database files from flat files created with db_dump. db_load db_log_verify verifies the log files of a database. db_log_verify db_printlog converts database log files to human readable text. db_printlog db_recover is used to restore a database to a consistent state after a failure. db_recover db_replicate is a daemon process that provides replication/HA services on a transactional environment. db_replicate db_stat displays database environment statistics. db_stat db_tuner analyzes the data in a btree database, and suggests a page size that is likely to deliver optimal operation. db_tuner db_upgrade is used to upgrade database files to a newer version of Berkeley DB. db_upgrade db_verify is used to run consistency checks on database files. db_verify
