Description:
------------
Hello,

in addition to bug #48270

After looking in dba_db4.c, PHP is always using DB_BTREE as creation mode, if you use "c" or "n" as mode parameter for dba_open() and a database is newly created.

It's not possible to create databases with the DB file format (or access method) Hash, Queue and Recno. See:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/api_c/db_open.html

http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/gsg/C/accessmethods.html

This limitation should be mentioned in the manual at:
http://de.php.net/manual/en/function.dba-open.php
http://de.php.net/manual/en/dba.requirements.php

Don't have the sources for db3/2. Maybe it's similar there.

Regards,
Carsten

Sorry, wrong summary. Changed DBHash to DBBtree.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
