Hi,

Is the DB_CREATE flag, when passed to DbEnv.open(), supposed to create
the directory in which the database environment sits? I get an error.
What does the DB_CREATE flag mean with respect to the DbEnv.open()
call?

Example:

DbEnv env(0);

env.open("/foo/bar/baz", DB_INIT_MPOOL | DB_CREATE, 0);

This fails with a "No such file or directory error" even if "/foo/bar"
exists.

Thanks for any info,

You must first create the directory that is to contain the environment.
