31<b>Description: DbEnv::set_lk_detect</b>
32<p>Set if the deadlock detector is to be run whenever a lock conflict
33occurs, and specify what lock request(s) should be rejected.  As
34transactions acquire locks on behalf of a single locker ID, rejecting a
35lock request associated with a transaction normally requires the
36transaction be aborted.</p>
37<p>The database environment's deadlock detector configuration may also be configured using the
38environment's <a href="/ref/env/db_config.html#DB_CONFIG">DB_CONFIG</a> file.  The syntax of the entry in that
39file is a single line with the string "set_lk_detect", one or more whitespace
40characters, and the method <b>detect</b> parameter as a string; for example,
41"set_lk_detect DB_LOCK_OLDEST".
42Because the <a href="/ref/env/db_config.html#DB_CONFIG">DB_CONFIG</a> file is read when the database environment
43is opened, it will silently overrule configuration done before that
44time.</p>
45<p>The DbEnv::set_lk_detect method configures a database environment, not only operations
46performed using the specified <a href="/api_cxx/env_class.html">DbEnv</a> handle.</p>
47<p>The DbEnv::set_lk_detect method may be called at any time during the life of the
48application.</p>
49<p>The DbEnv::set_lk_detect method
50either returns a non-zero error value
51or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
52failure, and returns 0 on success.
53</p>
54<b>Parameters</b> <br>
55 <b>detect</b><ul compact><li>The <b>detect</b> parameter configures the deadlock detector.  The
56specified value must be one of the following list:
57<br>
58<b><a name="DB_LOCK_DEFAULT">DB_LOCK_DEFAULT</a></b><ul compact><li>Use whatever lock policy was specified when the database environment
59was created.  If no lock policy has yet been specified, set the lock
60policy to DB_LOCK_RANDOM.</ul>
61<b><a name="DB_LOCK_EXPIRE">DB_LOCK_EXPIRE</a></b><ul compact><li>Reject lock requests which have timed out.  No other deadlock detection
62is performed.</ul>
63<b><a name="DB_LOCK_MAXLOCKS">DB_LOCK_MAXLOCKS</a></b><ul compact><li>Reject the lock request for the locker ID with the most locks.</ul>
64<b><a name="DB_LOCK_MAXWRITE">DB_LOCK_MAXWRITE</a></b><ul compact><li>Reject the lock request for the locker ID with the most write locks.</ul>
65<b><a name="DB_LOCK_MINLOCKS">DB_LOCK_MINLOCKS</a></b><ul compact><li>Reject the lock request for the locker ID with the fewest locks.</ul>
66<b><a name="DB_LOCK_MINWRITE">DB_LOCK_MINWRITE</a></b><ul compact><li>Reject the lock request for the locker ID with the fewest write locks.</ul>
67<b><a name="DB_LOCK_OLDEST">DB_LOCK_OLDEST</a></b><ul compact><li>Reject the lock request for the locker ID with the oldest lock.</ul>
68<b><a name="DB_LOCK_RANDOM">DB_LOCK_RANDOM</a></b><ul compact><li>Reject the lock request for a random locker ID.</ul>
69<b><a name="DB_LOCK_YOUNGEST">DB_LOCK_YOUNGEST</a></b><ul compact><li>Reject the lock request for the locker ID with the youngest lock.</ul>
70<br></ul>
71<br>
72<br><b>Errors</b>
73<p>The DbEnv::set_lk_detect method
74may fail and throw
75<a href="/api_cxx/except_class.html">DbException</a>,
76encapsulating one of the following non-zero errors, or return one of
77the following non-zero errors:</p>
78<br>
79<b>EINVAL</b><ul compact><li>An
80invalid flag value or parameter was specified.</ul>
