Parameters
- key
- Type: BerkeleyDB..::.DatabaseEntry
The key to search for.
- txn
- Type: BerkeleyDB..::.Transaction
If the operation is part of an application-specified transaction, txn is a Transaction object returned from BeginTransaction()()(); if the operation is part of a Berkeley DB Concurrent Data Store group, txn is a handle returned from BeginCDSGroup()()(); otherwise null.

transactional database, the operation is implicitly transaction
protected.
