Berkeley DB in multithreaded applications

Asked 5/12, 2009 at 1:29 Answered 5/12, 2009 at 1:29

What is the best way to use berkeley DB (bdb) handles in a multi-threaded application?

Is it better to have each thread open its own handle; or,
is it better to open a single handle and have each thread do txn_begin { } txn->commit()?

Which one scales better? I am using Transactional Data Store with DB_THREAD flag.

Thanks
