.PP
.SH "Detailed Description"
.PP 
Registers a DB type for use with heim_db_create()\&. 

heim_db_register
.PP
\fBParameters\fP
.RS 4
\fIdbtype\fP Name of DB type 
.br
\fIdata\fP Private data argument to the dbtype's openf method 
.br
\fIplugin\fP Structure with DB type methods (function pointers)
.RE
.PP
Backends that provide begin/commit/rollback methods must provide ACID semantics\&.
.PP
The registered DB type will have ACID semantics for backends that do not provide begin/commit/rollback methods but do provide lock/unlock and rdjournal/wrjournal methods (using a replay log journalling scheme)\&.
.PP
If the registered DB type does not natively provide read vs\&. write transaction isolation but does provide a lock method then the DB will provide read/write transaction isolation\&.
.PP
\fBReturns\fP
.RS 4
ENOMEM on failure, else 0\&.
.RE
.PP
Open a database of the given dbtype\&.
.PP
Database type names can be composed of one or more pseudo-DB types and one concrete DB type joined with a '+' between each\&. For example: 'transaction+bdb' might be a Berkeley DB with a layer above that provides transactions\&.
.PP
Options may be provided via a dict (an associative array)\&. Existing options include:
.PP
.IP "\(bu" 2
'create', with any value (create if DB doesn't exist)
.IP "\(bu" 2
'exclusive', with any value (exclusive create)
.IP "\(bu" 2
'truncate', with any value (truncate the DB)
.IP "\(bu" 2
'read-only', with any value (disallow writes)
.IP "\(bu" 2
'sync', with any value (make transactions durable)
.IP "\(bu" 2
'journal-name', with a string value naming a journal file name
