It seems that the web3.db had been removed in geth 1.4, I personally met the same problem before

> web3.db
{
  getHex: function(),
  getString: function(),
  putHex: function(),
  putString: function()
}
> web3.db.putString('testDB', 'key', 'myString')

> web3.db.putHex('testDB', 'key', web3.fromAscii('myString'))

> web3.version
{
  api: "0.18.1",
  ethereum: "0x3f",
  network: "65535",
  node: "Geth/v1.6.1-stable-021c3c28/linux-amd64/go1.8.1",
  whisper: undefined,
  getEthereum: function(callback),
  getNetwork: function(callback),
  getNode: function(callback),
  getWhisper: function(callback)
}

and I found this answer: Remove web3.db,


hope it could help
