31<b>Description: Db::set_bt_minkey</b>
32<p>Set the minimum number of key/data pairs intended to be stored on any
33single Btree leaf page.</p>
34<p>This value is used to determine if key or data items will be stored on
35overflow pages instead of Btree leaf pages.  For more information on
36the specific algorithm used, see <a href="../ref/am_conf/bt_minkey.html">Minimum keys per page</a>.  The <b>bt_minkey</b> value specified must
37be at least 2; if <b>bt_minkey</b> is not explicitly set, a value of
382 is used.</p>
39<p>The Db::set_bt_minkey method configures a database, not only operations performed
40using the specified <a href="../api_cxx/db_class.html">Db</a> handle.</p>
41<p>The Db::set_bt_minkey method may not be called after the <a href="../api_cxx/db_open.html">Db::open</a> method is called.
42If the database already exists when
43<a href="../api_cxx/db_open.html">Db::open</a> is called, the information specified to Db::set_bt_minkey will
44be ignored.
45</p>
46<p>The Db::set_bt_minkey method
47either returns a non-zero error value
48or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
49failure, and returns 0 on success.
50</p>
51<b>Parameters</b> <br>
52 <b>bt_minkey</b><ul compact><li>The <b>bt_minkey</b> parameter is the minimum number of key/data pairs
53intended to be stored on any single Btree leaf page.</ul>
54<br>
55<br><b>Errors</b>
56<p>The Db::set_bt_minkey method
57may fail and throw
58<a href="../api_cxx/except_class.html">DbException</a>,
59encapsulating one of the following non-zero errors, or return one of
60the following non-zero errors:</p>
61<br>
62<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
63invalid flag value or parameter was specified.</ul>

65<hr size=1 noshade>
66<b>Description: Db::get_bt_minkey</b>
67<p>The Db::get_bt_minkey method returns the minimum number of key/data pairs intended to be stored on any single Btree
68leaf page.</p>
69<p>The Db::get_bt_minkey method may be called at any time during the life of the
70application.</p>
71<p>The Db::get_bt_minkey method
72either returns a non-zero error value
73or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
74failure, and returns 0 on success.
