However, the supplied utilities can be generally useful tools even when the application is responsible for doing its own administration because applications rarely offer external interfaces to database administration. The utilities are required when programming to a Berkeley DB scripting interface because the scripting APIs do not always offer interfaces to the administrative functionality.</p> <table width="100%"><tr><td><br></td><td align=right><a href="../transapp/nested.html"><img src="../../images/prev.gif" alt="Prev"></a><a href="../toc.html"><img src="../../images/ref.gif" alt="Ref"></a><a href="../transapp/deadlock.html"><img src="../../images/next.gif" alt="Next"></a> </td></tr></table> <p><font size=1>Copyright (c) 1996,2008 Oracle.
