DB_ENV->set_lk_max_lockers(DB_ENV *dbenv, u_int32_t max);
29
<p>Set the maximum number of simultaneous locking entities supported by
30
the Berkeley DB lock subsystem. This value is used by <a href="../api_c/env_open.html">DB_ENV->open</a> to
31
estimate how much space to allocate for various lock-table data
32
structures. The default value is 1000 lockers. For specific
33
information on configuring the size of the lock subsystem, see

<p>The DB_ENV->set_lk_max_lockers method configures a database environment, not only operations
37
performed using the specified <a href="../api_c/env_class.html">DB_ENV</a> handle.
38
<p>The DB_ENV->set_lk_max_lockers interface may not be called after the <a href="../api_c/env_open.html">DB_ENV->open</a>

If the database environment already exists when
41

<p>The DB_ENV->set_lk_max_lockers method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
44
<p>The database environment's maximum number of lockers may also be set using the environment's
45
<b>DB_CONFIG</b> file. The syntax of the entry in that file is a
46
single line with the string "set_lk_max_lockers", one or more whitespace characters,
47
and the number of lockers. Because the <b>DB_CONFIG</b> file is read when the database
48
environment is opened, it will silently overrule configuration done

<p>The DB_ENV->set_lk_max_lockers method may fail and return a non-zero error for the following conditions:
53
<p><dt>EINVAL<dd>An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.
54
<p>Called after <a href="../api_c/env_open.html">DB_ENV->open</a> was called.
56
<p>The DB_ENV->set_lk_max_lockers method may fail and return a non-zero error for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system functions.
57
If a catastrophic error has occurred, the DB_ENV->set_lk_max_lockers method may fail and
58
return <a href="../ref/program/errorret.html#DB_RUNRECOVERY">DB_RUNRECOVERY</a>,
59
in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls will fail in the same way.
