The HashDatabase type exposes the following members.

# Methods

| Name | Description
--- | --- | ---

Close

Overloaded.

Although closing a database will close any open cursors, it is recommended that applications explicitly close all their Cursor objects before closing the database. The reason why is that when the cursor is explicitly closed, the memory allocated for it is reclaimed; however, this will not happen if you close a database while cursors are still opened.

The same rule, for the same reasons, holds true for Transaction objects. Simply make sure you resolve all your transaction objects before closing your database handle.

Because key/data pairs are cached in memory, applications should make a point to always either close database handles or sync their data to disk (using Sync()()() before exiting, to ensure that any data cached in main memory is reflected in the underlying file system.

When called on a secondary index's primary database, the primary should be closed only after all secondary indices referencing it have been closed.

When multiple threads use the object concurrently, only a single thread may call the Close method.

The object may not be accessed again after Close is called, regardless of its outcome.

| Compact | Overloaded.
| Cursor | Overloaded.
| Delete | Overloaded.
| Dispose | Release the resources held by this object, and close the database if it is still open. (Inherited from BaseDatabase.)
| Equals | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
| Exists | Overloaded.
| FastStats | Overloaded. Among other things, this method makes it possible for applications to request key and record counts without incurring the performance penalty of traversing the entire database. The statistical information is described by the BTreeStats, HashStats, QueueStats, and RecnoStats classes.
| Get | Overloaded.
| GetBoth | Overloaded.
| GetBothMultiple | Overloaded.
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
| GetMultiple | Overloaded.
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
| Join | Create a specialized join cursor for use in performing equality or natural joins on secondary indices. (Inherited from Database.)
| Open | Overloaded.
| PrintFastStats | Overloaded. The statistical information is described by the BTreeStats, HashStats, HeapStats, QueueStats, and RecnoStats classes.
| PrintStats | Overloaded. The statistical information is described by the BTreeStats, HashStats, HeapStats, QueueStats, and RecnoStats classes.
| Put | Overloaded. If the database supports duplicates, add the new data value at the end of the duplicate set. If the database supports sorted duplicates, the new data value is inserted at the correct sorted location.
| PutNoDuplicate | Overloaded.
| PutNoOverwrite | Overloaded.
| Stats | Overloaded. The statistical information is described by BTreeStats.
| Sync | Flush any cached information to disk. (Inherited from BaseDatabase.)
| ToString | Returns a String that represents the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
| Truncate | Overloaded. When called on a database configured with secondary indices, Truncate will truncate the primary database and all secondary indices. A count of the records discarded from the primary database is returned.
| TruncateUnusedPages | Overloaded.
