The default value is 10 times the number of CPUs on the 45 system if there is more than one CPU. Increasing the number of 46 partitions can provide for greater throughput on a system with 47 multiple CPUs and more than one thread contending for the lock 48 manager. On single processor systems more than one partition may 49 increase the overhead of the lock manager. Systems often report 50 threading contexts as CPUs. If your system does this, set the number of 51 partitions to 1 to get optimal performance. 52 </p> 53 <p> 54 The database environment's number of partitions may also be configured 55 using the environment's <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file. The 56 syntax of the entry in that file is a single line with the string 57 "set_lk_partitions", one or more whitespace characters, and the number 58 of partitions. Because the <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file is 59 read when the database environment is opened, it will silently 60 overrule configuration done before that time. 61 </p> 62 <p> 63 The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV->set_lk_partitions()</code> method configures a database 64 environment, not only operations performed using the specified 65 <a class="link" href="env.html" title="Chapter��5.�� The DB_ENV Handle">DB_ENV</a> handle. 66 </p> 67 <p> 68 The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV->set_lk_partitions()</code> method may not be called after the 69 <a class="xref" href="envopen.html" title="DB_ENV->open()">DB_ENV->open()</a> method is 70 called.
