<h3><pre>dbc del

<h1>Description</h1>
<p>The <i>dbc</i> <b>del</b> command deletes the key/data pair currently referenced
by the cursor.
<p>The cursor position is unchanged after a delete, and subsequent calls to
cursor commands expecting the cursor to reference an existing key will
fail.
<p>The <i>dbc</i> <b>del</b> command returns 0 on success, and in the case of error, a Tcl error
is thrown.
