37<p>The DB_MPOOLFILE-&gt;set_ftype method may not be called after the <a href="../api_c/memp_fopen.html">DB_MPOOLFILE-&gt;open</a> method is
38called.
39If the file is already open in the memory pool when
40<a href="../api_c/memp_fopen.html">DB_MPOOLFILE-&gt;open</a> is called, the information specified to DB_MPOOLFILE-&gt;set_ftype
41will replace the existing information.</p>
