mdb-del txn dbi key #!optional dataprocedure

Delete items from a database.

This function removes key/data pairs from the database. If the database does not support sorted duplicate data items (MDB_DUPSORT) the data parameter is ignored. If the database supports sorted duplicates and the data parameter is #f, all of the duplicate data items for the key will be deleted. Otherwise, if the data parameter is non-NULL only the matching data item will be deleted. This function will raise an (exn lmdb MDB_NOTFOUND) condition if the specified key/data pair is not in the database.
