<h3 align=center>Introduction</h3>
<p>As an introduction to Berkeley DB, we will present a few Berkeley DB programming
concepts, and then a simple database application.</p>
<p>The programming concepts are:</p>
<p><ul type=disc>
<li><a href="keydata.html">Key/data pairs</a>
<li><a href="handles.html">Object handles</a>
<li><a href="errors.html">Error returns</a>
</ul>
<p>This database application will:</p>
<p><ul type=disc>
<li><a href="open.html">Create a simple database</a>
<li><a href="put.html">Store items</a>
<li><a href="get.html">Retrieve items</a>
<li><a href="del.html">Remove items</a>
<li><a href="close.html">Close the database</a>
</ul>
<p>The introduction will be presented using the programming language C.  The
<a href="example.cs">complete source</a> of the final version of the
example program is included in the Berkeley DB distribution.</p>
