Db::rename(const char *file,

<p>
The <code class="methodname">Db::rename()</code> method renames the database specified by the
<span class="bold"><strong>file</strong></span> and <span class="bold"><strong>database</strong></span> parameters to <span class="bold"><strong>newname</strong></span>. If no <span class="bold"><strong>database</strong></span> is specified, the underlying file
represented by <span class="bold"><strong>file</strong></span> is renamed,
incidentally renaming all of the databases it contained.
</p>
<p>
Applications should not rename databases that are currently in use.
If an underlying file is being renamed and logging is currently
enabled in the database environment, no database in the file may be
open when the <code class="methodname">Db::rename()</code> method is called. In particular, some
architectures do not permit renaming files with open handles. On
these architectures, attempts to rename databases that are currently
in use by any thread of control in the system may fail.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">Db::rename()</code> method should not be called if the rename is
intended to be transactionally safe; the
<a class="xref" href="envdbrename.html" title="DbEnv::dbrename()">DbEnv::dbrename()</a> method
should be used instead.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">Db::rename()</code> method may not be called after calling the
<a class="xref" href="dbopen.html" title="Db::open()">Db::open()</a> method on any
<a class="link" href="db.html" title="Chapter 2. The Db Handle">Db</a> handle. If the
<a class="xref" href="dbopen.html" title="Db::open()">Db::open()</a> method has already
been called on a <a class="link" href="db.html" title="Chapter 2. The Db Handle">Db</a>
handle, close the existing handle and create a new one before calling
<code class="methodname">Db::rename()</code>.
</p>
<p>
The <a class="link" href="db.html" title="Chapter 2. The Db Handle">Db</a> handle may not be
accessed again after <code class="methodname">Db::rename()</code> is called, regardless of its
return.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">Db::rename()</code> <span>
<span>
method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an
exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
failure, and returns 0 on success.
