27<b>Description: Dbc</b>
28<p>The Dbc object is the handle for a cursor into a Berkeley DB database.
29The handle is not free-threaded.  Cursor handles may be used by multiple
30threads, but only serially, that is, the application must serialize
31access to the Dbc handle.</p>
32<p>If the cursor is to be used to perform operations on behalf of a
33transaction, the cursor must be opened and closed within the context of
34that single transaction.  Once <a href="/api_cxx/dbc_close.html">Dbc::close</a> has been called, the
35handle may not be accessed again, regardless of the method's return.</p>
