db del
	[-glob]
	[-txn txnid]
	key

Description

The db del command removes key/data pairs from the database.

In the presence of duplicate key values, all records associated with the designated key will be discarded.

The options are as follows:

-glob

The specified key is a wildcard pattern, and all keys matching that pattern are discarded from the database. The pattern is a simple wildcard, any characters after the wildcard character are ignored.

-txn txnid

If the operation is to be transaction-protected, the txnid parameter is a transaction handle returned from env txn.
