<h1 align=center>Storing records with a cursor</h1>
<p>The <a href="../../api_c/dbc_put.html">DBcursor-&gt;c_put</a> function is the standard interface for storing records into
the database with a cursor.  In general, <a href="../../api_c/dbc_put.html">DBcursor-&gt;c_put</a> takes a key and
inserts the associated data into the database, at a location controlled
by a specified flag.
<p>There are several flags that you can set to customize storage:
<p><dl compact>
<p><dt><a href="../../api_c/dbc_put.html#DB_AFTER">DB_AFTER</a><dd>Create a new record, immediately after the record currently referenced by
the cursor.
<p><dt><a href="../../api_c/dbc_put.html#DB_BEFORE">DB_BEFORE</a><dd>Create a new record, immediately before the record currently referenced by
the cursor.
<p><dt><a href="../../api_c/dbc_put.html#DB_CURRENT_PUT">DB_CURRENT</a><dd>Replace the data part of the record currently referenced by the cursor.
<p><dt><a href="../../api_c/dbc_put.html#DB_KEYFIRST">DB_KEYFIRST</a><dd>Create a new record as the first of the duplicate records for the
supplied key.
<p><dt><a href="../../api_c/dbc_put.html#DB_KEYLAST">DB_KEYLAST</a><dd>Create a new record, as the last of the duplicate records for the supplied
key.
</dl>
<p>In all cases, the cursor is repositioned by a <a href="../../api_c/dbc_put.html">DBcursor-&gt;c_put</a> operation
to point to the newly inserted key/data pair in the database.
