Accesses to any fields within that structure by the application should be replaced with method calls on the <a href="../../api_c/db_class.html">DB</a> handle. The following example illustrates this using the historic db_cachesize structure field. In the Berkeley DB 2.X releases, applications could set the size of an underlying database cache using code similar to the following:</p> <blockquote><pre>DB_INFO dbinfo; <p> memset(dbinfo, 0, sizeof(dbinfo)); dbinfo.db_cachesize = 1024 * 1024;</pre></blockquote> <p>in the Berkeley DB 3.X releases, this should be done using the <a href="../../api_c/db_set_cachesize.html">DB->set_cachesize</a> method, as follows:</p> <blockquote><pre>DB *db; int ret; <p> ret = db->set_cachesize(db, 0, 1024 * 1024, 0);</pre></blockquote> <p>The DB_INFO structure is no longer used in any way by the Berkeley DB 3.0 release, and should be removed from the application.</p> <p>The following table lists the DB_INFO fields previously used by applications and the methods that should now be used to set them. Because these calls provide configuration for the database open, they must precede the call to <a href="../../api_c/db_open.html">DB->open</a>. Calling them after the call to <a href="../../api_c/db_open.html">DB->open</a> will return an error.</p> <table border=1 align=center> <tr><th>DB_INFO field</th><th>Berkeley DB 3.X method</th></tr> <tr><td>bt_compare</td><td><a href="../../api_c/db_set_bt_compare.html">DB->set_bt_compare</a></td></tr> <tr><td>bt_minkey</td><td><a href="../../api_c/db_set_bt_minkey.html">DB->set_bt_minkey</a></td></tr> <tr><td>bt_prefix</td><td><a href="../../api_c/db_set_bt_prefix.html">DB->set_bt_prefix</a></td></tr> <tr><td>db_cachesize</td><td><a href="../../api_c/db_set_cachesize.html">DB->set_cachesize</a> <p>Note: the <a href="../../api_c/db_set_cachesize.html">DB->set_cachesize</a> function takes additional arguments.
