public int db_register(Db dbp, String name, int dbtype)
	throws DbException;

Description

The DbLog.db_register method registers a file name with the log manager and returns a file identification number.

This file identification number should be used in all subsequent log messages that refer to operations on the file. The log manager records all file name to file identification number mappings at each checkpoint so that a recovery process can identify the file to which a record in the log refers.

The DbLog.db_register method is called when an access method registers the open of a file. The dbp parameter should be a Db object which is being returned by the access method.

The type parameter should be one of the types of databases specified in Db.open, e.g., Db.DB_HASH.

The DbLog.db_register method throws an exception that encapsulates an errno on failure.
