Deleting Items from a Backing Store

The following routines delete an item from a backing store.

dce_db_delete( )
This routine deletes an item from a backing store that is indexed by name or by UUID. The key's type must match the flag that was used in dce_db_open( ).

dce_db_delete_by_name( )
This routine deletes an item only from a backing store that is indexed by name.

dce_db_delete_by_uuid( )
This routine deletes an item only from a backing store that is indexed by UUID.

To delete an entire backing store, ensure that the data file is not open, and remove it. There is only one file.
