31<b>Description: Db::set_q_extentsize</b>
32<p>Set the size of the extents used to hold pages in a Queue database,
33specified as a number of pages.  Each extent is created as a separate
34physical file.  If no extent size is set, the default behavior is to
35create only a single underlying database file.</p>
36<p>For information on tuning the extent size, see
37<a href="/ref/am_conf/extentsize.html">Selecting a extent size</a>.</p>
38<p>The Db::set_q_extentsize method configures a database, not only operations performed
39using the specified <a href="/api_cxx/db_class.html">Db</a> handle.</p>
40<p>The Db::set_q_extentsize method may not be called after the <a href="/api_cxx/db_open.html">Db::open</a> method is called.
41If the database already exists when
42<a href="/api_cxx/db_open.html">Db::open</a> is called, the information specified to Db::set_q_extentsize will
43be ignored.
44</p>
45<p>The Db::set_q_extentsize method
46either returns a non-zero error value
47or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
48failure, and returns 0 on success.
49</p>
50<b>Parameters</b> <br>
51 <b>extentsize</b><ul compact><li>The <b>extentsize</b> parameter is the number of pages in a Queue database
52extent.</ul>
53<br>
54<br><b>Errors</b>
55<p>The Db::set_q_extentsize method
56may fail and throw
57<a href="/api_cxx/except_class.html">DbException</a>,
58encapsulating one of the following non-zero errors, or return one of
59the following non-zero errors:</p>
60<br>
61<b>EINVAL</b><ul compact><li>If the method was called after <a href="/api_cxx/db_open.html">Db::open</a> was called; or if an
62invalid flag value or parameter was specified.</ul>

65<b>Description: Db::get_q_extentsize</b>
66<p>The Db::get_q_extentsize method returns the number of pages in an extent.</p>
67<p>The Db::get_q_extentsize method may be called at any time during the life of the
68application.</p>
69<p>The Db::get_q_extentsize method
70either returns a non-zero error value
71or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
72failure, and returns 0 on success.
