enough smaller than the database's page size that at least one record

not byte-delimited, and are of length <b>re_len</b>.

<p>Any records added to the database that are less than <b>re_len</b> bytes

If a catastrophic error has occurred, the Db.set_re_len method may fail and

throw a <a href="../api_java/runrec_class.html">DbRunRecoveryException</a>,
