<h1 align=center>Storing records</h1>
19
<p>The <a href="../../api_c/db_put.html">DB->put</a> method is the standard interface for storing records into
20
the database. In general, <a href="../../api_c/db_put.html">DB->put</a> takes a key and stores the
21
associated data into the database.
22
<p>There are a few flags that you can set to customize storage:
24
<p><dt><a href="../../api_c/db_put.html#DB_APPEND">DB_APPEND</a><dd>Simply append the data to the end of the database, treating the database
25
much like a simple log. This flag is only valid for the Queue and Recno
27
<p><dt><a href="../../api_c/db_put.html#DB_NOOVERWRITE">DB_NOOVERWRITE</a><dd>Only store the data item if the key does not already appear in the database.
29
<p>If the database has been configured to support duplicate records, the
30
<a href="../../api_c/db_put.html">DB->put</a> method will add the new data value at the end of the duplicate
31
set. If the database supports sorted duplicates, the new data value is
32
inserted at the correct sorted location.
