<p>
When you create a database using the BDB SQL interface, a
directory is created alongside of it. This directory
has the same name as your database file, but with a
<code class="literal">-journal</code> suffix.
</p>
<p>
That is, if you create a database called "mydb" then
the BDB SQL interface also creates a directory alongside of the
"mydb" file called "mydb-journal".
</p>
<p>
This directory contains files that are very important
for the proper functioning of the BDB SQL interface. Do not delete
this directory or any of its files unless you know what you
are doing.
</p>
<p>
In Berkeley DB terms, the journal directory contains the
environment files that are required to provide access to
databases across multiple processes.
