#include &lt;db_cxx.h&gt;

DbEnv::txn_checkpoint(u_int32_t kbyte, u_int32_t min, u_int32_t flags) const;
</pre></h3>
<h1>Description</h1>
<p>The DbEnv::txn_checkpoint method flushes the underlying memory pool,
writes a checkpoint record to the log and then flushes the log.
<p>If either <b>kbyte</b> or <b>min</b> is non-zero, the checkpoint is only
done if there has been activity since the last checkpoint and either
more than <b>min</b> minutes have passed since the last checkpoint,
or if more than <b>kbyte</b> kilobytes of log data have been written since
the last checkpoint.
<p>The <b>flags</b> parameter must be set to 0 or one of the following
values:
<p><dl compact>
<p><dt><a name="DB_FORCE">DB_FORCE</a><dd>Force a checkpoint record even if there has been no activity since the
last checkpoint.
</dl>
<p>The DbEnv::txn_checkpoint method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an exception that
encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure, 0 on success, and returns <a href="../api_c/memp_fsync.html#DB_INCOMPLETE">DB_INCOMPLETE</a> if there were pages that needed to be
written to complete the checkpoint but that <a href="../api_cxx/memp_sync.html">DbEnv::memp_sync</a> was unable
to write immediately.
<h1>Errors</h1>
<p>The DbEnv::txn_checkpoint method may fail and throw an exception or return a non-zero error for the following conditions:
<p><dl compact>
<p><dt>EINVAL<dd>An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.
</dl>
<p>The DbEnv::txn_checkpoint method may fail and throw an exception or return a non-zero error for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system methods.
If a catastrophic error has occurred, the DbEnv::txn_checkpoint method may fail and either
return <a href="../ref/program/errorret.html#DB_RUNRECOVERY">DB_RUNRECOVERY</a> or throw an exception encapsulating
<a href="../ref/program/errorret.html#DB_RUNRECOVERY">DB_RUNRECOVERY</a>, in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls will fail
in the same way.
