<p align=center><b>Deleting records</b></p>
<p>The <a href="../../api_c/db_del.html">DB->del</a> method deletes records from the database. In general,
<a href="../../api_c/db_del.html">DB->del</a> takes a key and deletes the data item associated with
it from the database.</p>
<p>If the database has been configured to support duplicate records, the
<a href="../../api_c/db_del.html">DB->del</a> method will remove all of the duplicate records. To remove
individual duplicate records, you must use a Berkeley DB cursor interface.</p>
